Wikiquote:Quote of the day/August 17, 2021

 
Life is a play acted by dying men,
Where, if its heroes seem to foot it well
And go light-tongued without grimace of pain,
Death will be found anon. And who shall tell
Which part was saddest, or in youth or age,
When the tired actor stops and leaves the stage?
~ Wilfrid Scawen Blunt ~
