Nothing is more despicable than the old age of a passionate man. When the vigour of youth fails him, and his amusements pall with frequent repetition, his occasional rage sinks by decay of strength into peevishness; that peevishness, for want of novelty and variety, becomes habitual; the world falls off from around him, and he is left, as Homer expresses it, to devour his own heart in solitude and contempt.

The world shrieks and sinks talons into our hearts. This we call memory.
Hope sinks a world of imagination.
This dream of our youth will fade out as the splendor Fades from the skies when the sun sinks to sleep.
I strove with none, for none was worth my strife. Nature I loved and, next to Nature, Art: I warm'd both hands before the fire of life; It sinks, and I am ready to depart.
Tell the men to fire faster and not to give up the ship; fight her till she sinks.
