“What will it matter to him if he notices that he is growing old? Has he any reason to envy the young people whom he sees, or wax nostalgic over his own lost youth?

"Instead of possibilities, I have realities in my past, not only the reality of work done and love loved, but of sufferings bravely suffered. These sufferings are even the things of which I am most proud, though these things are things that cannot inspire envy."”

The bands that once with firmness Could grasp the axe and blade, Now move with trembling motion, By strength of nerve decayed.

And thus, as in a mirror's Reflection, we were told, With stereotyped impressions, The fact of growing old.”
