Vituperator Temporis Acti
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), To-Day, lines 9-14:
Newer› ‹Older
Old mouldy men and books and names and lands
Disgust my reason and defile my hands.
I had as lief respect an ancient shoe,
As love old things for age, and hate the new.
I spurn the Past, my mind disdains its nod,
Nor kneels in homage to so mean a God.
