Agelong is defined as lasting for a long time or age. Its antonyms would be short-lived, brief, fleeting, transitory, momentary, ephemeral, or temporary. These terms describe something that does not last very long, unlike agelong, which implies the passage of time. For example, a flower's life is short-lived, while a tree's life is agelong. Similarly, a momentary burst of inspiration is short-lived compared to an agelong desire to create something. So, when looking for the opposite of agelong, consider words that indicate a short duration, something that is not long-lasting.

Famous quotes with Agelong

• The worldwide, agelong struggle between fascism and democracy will not stop when the fighting ends in Germany and Japan.

  Henry A. Wallace
• Perhaps there was too much of religion in one sense; the word is English, smacks too much of things external such as creeds, rites, an external piety; there is no one Indian equivalent. But if we give rather to religion the sense of the following of the spiritual impulse in its fullness and define spirituality as the attempt to know and live in the highest self, the divine, the all-embracing unity and to raise life in all its parts to the divinest possible values, then it is evident that there was not too much of religion, but rather too little of it — and in what there was, a too one-sided and therefore an insufficiently ample tendency. The right remedy is, not to belittle still farther the agelong ideal of India, but to return to its old amplitude and give it a still wider scope, to make in very truth all the life of the nation a religion in this high spiritual sense. This is the direction in which the philosophy, poetry, art of the West is, still more or less obscurely, but with an increasing light, beginning to turn, and even some faint glints of the truth are beginning now to fall across political and sociological ideals.

  Sri Aurobindo
