I'm getting on, too, or I'd have remembered this sooner. Peggy Noonan's creeping irrelevance, even as she notes Jesse Jackson's, recalls the bitter lyric of Jacques Brel: "Que l'on vive à Paris, on vit tous en province quand on vit trop longtemps."

(Which basically says that when you've lived too long, it doesn't matter if you're in Paris, you're still in the boonies.)
