YOUTH AND LOVE

Must one be young to love? 

Just because one is twenty three, one is presumed to be the fountain
head of romance, the charmer and consummate performer, who will
steal hearts and stoke up forbidden furnaces?

All the horrific mistakes which create mixed up love stories come
from those this side of thirty.

Men before forty are tragedies. After that they are comedies.

Men at twenty are more boys, at thirty more testosterone, and at forty
more contending with precursory impotence.

What remains of them is stolen by God and Guru, who at this stage
seems to want every thing and leave a non-ego. One shudders to think 
of the inapt men who could not kiss impressively going to the feet
of the Guru, or the footstool of God.

Men at any age is not a woman's dream come true, but the younger 
they are, and untried, the more selfish, egotistic and self centered they
prove to be.

They are borderline rude, licked to death by Mummy, mostly
obtuse to poetry unless it is of the sharabi-kababi type lifted from
the nearest cinema or Moslem friend. They have no idea of wooing 
and causing wonderment in a woman.

When near a woman they are more attuned to what is under the
blouse than what is in the eyes, and what will she look like in
skin as compared to what shall we speak of when we are fifty and
the sun has set on youth. 

Men, twenty or sixty, are the only creature who can, if wise, look
into a woman's eyes, and cause in her a painful remembrance,
of her ancient feminine roots, qualities, which even she, in this
world dominated by domineering men, has forgotten.

Even to this day men, at any age, do not know that one thing
a woman will give everything up for, if she finds it in a man.

At sixty, a man has lost most of the chips on the shoulder and
is thereby considered wise, which is to say, will keep quiet
enough to listen, to that silent sound, in a woman's heart.

Arya.
