• Old men, what are they? Fast fading the leaf, Three-footed they walk, yet frail as a child, As a dream set afloat in the daylight.

    Aeschylus: Old men, what are they? Fast fading the leaf, Three-footed they walk, yet frail as a child, As a dream set afloat in the daylight.
    Aeschylus (2014). “The Oresteia: Agamemnon, Choephoroe, Eumenides”, p.5, Everyman's Library
