“C'est exactement la vieillesse que je nous souhaite, à Hélène et moi. Il y aurait de grandes bibliothèques, des divans profonds, les cris des petits-enfants dehors, des confitures de baies, de longues conversations dans des chaises longues. Les ombres s'allongent, la mort approche doucement. La vie a été bonne parce qu'on s'est aimés. Ce n'est peut-être pas comme ça que ça finira, mais c'est comme ça, s'il ne tenait qu'à moi, que j'imaginerais que ça finisse.”

“It's the great mystery of human life that old grief passes gradually into quiet, tender joy. The mild serenity of age takes the place of the riotous blood of youth. I bless the rising sun each day, and, as before, my heart sings to meet it, but now I love even more its setting, its long slanting rays and the soft, tender, gentle memories that come with them, the dear images from the whole of my long, happy life -- and over all the Divine Truth, softening, reconciling, forgiving! My life is ending, I know that well, but every day that is left me I feel how earthly life is in touch with a new infinite, unknown, but approaching life, the nearness of which sets my soul quivering with rapture, my mind glowing and my heart weeping with joy.”
