one and twenty

One and Twenty “When I was one-and-twenty” by A.E. Housman, is a poem about one young man’s growth, from twenty-one to twenty two. He is given advice, which is, the greatest gift in which a person can give to another is that of your heart. However at the age of twenty-one, money is a much better gift to give. You save yourself heartache, and having a lack of money is not as hard …

…where you should be enjoying yourself, and making yourself better for when the time really does come for you to make that commitment to a certain special someone. The cost of being wrong is to high at such an age, and that is what the “wise man” wants to convey to twenty one year old men, and dare say women, they are in the same figurative boat as of today. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography** none, its mine
