Though he has watched a decent age pass by,A man will sometimes still desire the world.I swear I see no wisdom in that man.The endless hours pile up a drift of painMore unrelieved each day; and as for pleasure,When he is sunken in excessive age,You will not see his pleasure anywhere.- Choral Poem between Scenes V & VI, Oedipus at Colonus
