Nine times out of ordsprog

en Nine times out of ten it is over the Bridge of Sighs that we pass the narrow gulf from youth to manhood. That interval is usually marked by an ill placed or disappointed affection. We recover and we find ourselves a new being. The intellect has become hardened by the fire through which it has passed. The mind profits by the wrecks of every passion, and we may measure our road to wisdom by the sorrows we have undergone.
  Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

en Plato's system was . . . rent by an irreconcilable dualism of mind and body, spirit and matter, good and evil, with all of his great ideas unable to bridge this gulf.

en YESTERDAY, n. The infancy of youth, the youth of manhood, the entire past of age.

But yesterday I should have thought me blest To stand high-pinnacled upon the peak Of middle life and look adown the bleak And unfamiliar foreslope to the West, Where solemn shadows all the land invest And stilly voices, half-remembered, speak Unfinished prophecy, and witch-fires freak The haunted twilight of the Dark of Rest. Yea, yesterday my soul was all aflame To stay the shadow on the dial's face At manhood's noonmark! Now, in God His name I chide aloud the little interspace Disparting me from Certitude, and fain Would know the dream and vision ne'er again. --Baruch Arnegriff

It is said that in his last illness the poet Arnegriff was attended at different times by seven doctors.

en YESTERDAY, n. The infancy of youth, the youth of manhood, the entire past of age.
  Ambrose Bierce
