Who has not experienced the consciousness of having felt the thing before having thought it some time in the dim past? Who has not witnessed new scenes that appear old, very old? Who has not met persons for the first time, whose presence awakened memories of a past lying far back in the misty ages of long ago? Who has not been seized at times with the consciousness of a mighty 'oldness' of soul?
It brought out the lovingness of his eyes, and took away the hard oldness of his finely cut features. "Mr. Harricutt, I have often wondered if you knew all that people say about you?" There was sudden stir in the session room. The elders moved their chairs with a swishing sound, cleared their throats hastily, and put sudden hands up to hide furtive smiles.
This is bringing forth fruit unto himself; for all that he doth, he doth it as a man, as a creature, from principles natural, and of himself, his own, and for none other than himself; and therefore he serveth in an old spirit, the oldness of the letter, and for himself.
And now by our new law-giver, the Son of God, he being 'lord also of the sabbath day, we have a time prefixed, as the law of nature requireth, a new day, by him who is the lord of it; I say, appointed, wherein we may worship, not in the oldness of that letter written and engraven in stones, but according to, and most agreeing with, his new and holy testament.
Silk weavers usin' the same old, onhandy looms they used centuries ago, ivory carvers fashionin' elephants and other animals, and all on 'em tryin' to sell to us in their high-pitched voices.

I marvel that so many are fooled by the trick; how so few of us detect that the soul of it all is ageless has never even wearied. The blossoms told this secret now in quiet triumph over the denials of ancient oaks that towered above them and murmured solemn falsities in their tops about the incredible oldness of things.
Amy could have bought mountains of food for the price of that bed. But she would have starved rather than sell it. Anne under the pink canopy was like a rose a white rose with a faint flush. The color in Amy's cheeks was fixed and hard. Yet even with her oldness and tiredness and metal curlers she had the look of race which attracted Murray.
How it paid him might be inferred from the oldness of his clothes and the ricketiness of his office. There was a card saying "Back in ten minutes" on the door which he opened to admit Larcher and himself.
"The question of being too old has attracted public attention for some time now, which shows the way the wind is blowing. Oldness has become, in a small degree, a problem. The world is younger than it used to be more impatient, more anxious to live a free life, to escape from any form of bondage. And so people have begun to ask what we are to do with our old men." He paused and looked at Jason.
At the entrance to the Royal Kraal he had been ordered, according to established rule, to give up his spear, but he resisted so energetically that they allowed him to retain it and, after all, it could hardly be called a weapon. He carried a small skin wallet slung to his waist. The younger man looked old with the oldness that comes not of time but of suffering.
