Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf
So Eden sank to grief;
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

- Robert Frost

The-outsiders
Patrick Swayze as Darry Curtis?! After finishing The Outsiders, I can't imagine a better casting for the oldest greaser - the one who wears the tight black shirt to the rumble to show off every muscle in his chest; the one who could have made it to college with his intellect and athletics but sacrificed his future to take care of Sodapop and Ponyboy. Now that's a man.

And thanks to St. Elmo's Fire & a season working at Parmenter's, I also appreciate a young Rob Lowe.
