My Lost Youth. Oh, what is a youth?

Came across this Longfellow poem, while reading something way less profound, and the wonderful lines there:
A boy's will is the wind's will,
And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts

Advance to 1:16, if you are not patient enough, for a verse from the poem:

There are things of which I may not speak;
      There are dreams that cannot die;
There are thoughts that make the strong heart weak,
And bring a pallor into the cheek,
      And a mist before the eye.
            And the words of that fatal song
            Come over me like a chill:
      "A boy's will is the wind's will,
And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts." 
So, how about wrapping it up with this:

Btw, would you mind removing the awful captcha that Blogger has. Its a real pain to decipher the words and enter. The spam catcher is usually good on Blogger - 99% of the spam will get trapped anyway.
