I suspect you are asking about the speech called "The Secen Ages of Man" which comes from Shakespeare's play As You Like It. This speech contains the words "Last stage of all . . . is second childishness and mere oblivion: sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything." Jaques is thinking of a person afflicted with the conditions of extreme old age. He has lost his teeth so he can only eat pasty goo like a baby; he is blind so cannot see what to do; senility has robbed him of his reason; he must be taken care of like a little child.
