Discussion

Thanks, David. I prefer 2) since it avoids the repetition of "youth".

OR even better, "...not even the youth had the usual and immediate freshness of youth".

"...not even the youth had its usual and immediate freshness."
There are 3 better possibilities: 1.) "...not even the youth had their usual and immediate freshness" OR 2.) "...not even youth had its usual and immediate freshness" OR 3.) "...not even the youth had youth's usual and immediate freshness". I prefer # 1.).
