It is written

It is written of the very old that they shall pass, by virtue of their long travel, out of the country of the understanding of the young, till the natural affections are blurred by creeping mists such as steal across the moors when the sun is going down.

    Agree entirely. It really is about time that the teenagers taught the Babyboomers some manners.

    Would those "creeping mists" be scotch mists by any chance because they frequently blur my vision?

    David - they blur everything for me.
