Quote by Rod Stewart

I shouldn't have got married. My dad told me. I was 35 and I got married. He said, 'You're too young to be married'. 'What? I'm 35'. Said, 'You're far too young. You haven't lived yet'. He was right, bless him, thanks, Dad.

I shouldn't have got married. My dad told me. I was 35 and I

Summary

In this quote, the speaker reflects on the advice given by their father about getting married at the age of 35. Initially dismissing the advice since they felt they were old enough, the speaker later realizes that their father was correct in saying that they hadn't fully experienced life yet. This acknowledgment implies a sense of regret, suggesting that the speaker believes they should have heeded their father's wisdom and postponed marriage until they had further explored and understood themselves and the world around them.

Who are you, reader, reading my poems an hundred years hence?I cannot send you one single flower from this wealth of the spring, one single streak of gold from yonder clouds.Open your doors and look abroad.From your blossoming garden gather fragrant memories of the vanished flowers of an hundred years before.In the joy of your heart may you feel the living joy that sang one spring morning, sending its glad voice across a hundred years.
