Age too shines out; and, garrulous, recounts the feats of youth

James Thomson, the Scottish poet and playwright, is often remembered for his vivid descriptions of nature and his keen observations of human life. In his works, Thomson frequently explores the passage of time and the inevitable effects of aging on the human experience. One of his most famous lines, "Age too shines out; and, garrulous, recounts the feats of youth," encapsulates this theme perfectly.
