My 22nd Birthday

just let me start with this :

Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.
Jean Paul Richter

now let me tell you this :

From our birthday, until we die,
Is but the winking of an eye.
William Butler Yeats

at last, let me finish it with this :

Birthdays? yes, in a general way;
For the most if not for the best of men:
You were born (I suppose) on a certain day:
So was I: or perhaps in the night: what then?
James Kenneth Stephen
