The Friends of the Central Ex-
Why Should Not Old Men Be Mad?
By William Butler Yeats
Why should not old men be mad?
Some have known a likely lad
That had a sound fly-fisher’s wrist
Turn to a drunken journalist;
A girl that knew all Dante once
Live to bear children to a dunce;
A Helen of social welfare dream,
Climb on a wagonette to scream.
Some think it a matter of course that
chance
Should starve good men and bad advance,
That if their neighbours figured plain,
As though upon a lighted screen,
No single story would they find
Of an unbroken happy mind,
A finish worthy of the start.
Young men know nothing of this sort,
Observant old men know it well;
And when they know what old books tell
And that no better can be had,
Know why an old man should be mad.

Heritage Ottawa Walks:
Old Ottawa South
Sunday, October 17, 2:00 pm –
MEET: Southminster United Church,
Bank at Alymer
$10.00 ($5.00 for Heritage Ottawa
members)
In 1907, Nepean Township villages
such as Ottawa South were
annexed to the City of Ottawa. Improved
city services soon followed,
such as a new high-level Bank Street
Bridge over the canal. It allowed
the privately-owned Ottawa Electric
Railway to extend streetcar services,
stimulating housing and development
of one of Ottawa’s first streetcar suburbs.

and Planning Committee, Old Ottawa
