I

Listen in the reader

That is no country for old men. The young In one another’s arms, birds in the trees, --Those dying generations--at their song, The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas, Fish flesh or fowl, commend all summer long Whatever is begotten born and dies. Caught in that sensual music all neglect Monuments of unaging intellect.
