Summary

This quote suggests that it is more desirable to be youthful and inexperienced, represented by a young June-bug, rather than being older and flashy like a bird of paradise. The idea behind is that being young allows for a sense of curiosity, growth, and potential, with room for learning and making mistakes. Whereas, being old and ostentatious might imply a sense of desiring attention and admiration without necessarily embodying the same vitality and potential for growth that comes with youth.
