The great miraculous bell of translucent ice is suspended in mid-air.It rings to announce endings and beginnings. And it rings because there is fresh promise and wonder in the skies.Its clear tones resound in the placid silence of the winter day, and echo long into the silver-blue serenity of night.The bell can only be seen at the turning of the year, when the days wind down into nothing, and get ready to march out again.When you hear the bell, you feel a tug at your heart.It is your immortal inspiration.

Just men and women who become old and tired and lose the strength to fight for what they love any longer.
Young warriors are always eager for battle. Old warriors know better.
When we are young, we want to be old and for things to change. When we are old, we want to be young and for things to go back to the way they were.

You off then, Da?_ she asked.__ye. Too old for all this killing._ And to prove that, her father turned and brought his axe down on the head of a traitor that had gotten too close. Spun once more and cut off the legs of another.He faced them again. __eed to get back to my rocking chair and some hot tea.___learly.
_love grown dutiful is love grown olda withered cupid faltering at the bow_
I can't get it why did I name my book series, I'm talking about "The Life Of One kid". I'm talking about the last word "Kid"?? Aren't your curious I'm with British Accent and putting "Kid" the American word for child the last? I'm also curious I still don't know, I really don't know why. Child sounds like a baby maybe that's all, kid sounds like a child in aobut 7-8 years old!
You see yourself as if old and wise.I see you really miss your childhood.
You don__ understand!_ she exclaimed bitterly.__hat,_ said his lordship, with a touch of acidity, __s a foolish accusation which lacks even the saving grace of originality! Every generation, my child, has said, or thought, that the preceding one was devoid of understanding or experience.
