Bodies become worn-out instruments
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow In old age our bodies are worn-out instruments, on which the soul tries in vain to play the melodies of youth. But because the instrument has lost its strings, or is out of tune, it does not follow that the musician has lost his skill.

 - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
