"Quartet" Jean: You look very handsome. Reggie: You look very beautiful. Jean: We're both very old. Reggie: Then let's get married. Jean: Were you serious? Reggie: Yes. Jean: OK.

At that time, you were very young , everyone says you are beautiful, now, I'm here to tell you, for me, I think you are more beautiful now than when you were young, when you were a young woman, compared to your face then, I love your devastated face more now." "When You Are Old" Yeats When you are old, your hair is gray, and you are drowsy and dozing by the fire, please take down this poem and read it slowly, recalling your past The softness of the eyes recalls the heavy shadows of their old days How many people love you in your youthful and joyful hours Adoring your beauty, false and true Only one loves you The soul of a pilgrim loves you The painful wrinkles on your aging face Drop your head, in the red fire Beside the gleaming stove whispered sadly that love's fading on the mountain overhead It paced slowly and hidden its face among the stars "I always wanted to write a song for Anjani" by Leonard Cohen I always wanted to write a song for Anjani about our old days or light or heavy I wrote the lyrics she would be a high tune I couldn't sing she would sing it beautifully I would correct her sing she would correct me The words make it beautiful beyond words And then for the rest of our lives we'll listen to it not often not forever but occasionally
