This is a quotation by W. B. Yeats an Irish poet and dramatist who worked in the late XIX and the beginning of the XX century. Also one of my favorite literary workers.
"When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book
And slowly read and dream of the soft look
In your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep."
What I am trying to say is no matter the problems one has during the childhood and youth period everybody considers it as the best period of their life. Although as we grow older we are shifting towards new standards, trying to reach new goals, we do get sentimental when speaking of what once has been. Therefore I do not believe that being young and understood is easy, but for sure being young is wonderful.
