I owe it to my country-place that my old age became apparent whithersoever I turned.
Let us cherish and love old age; for it is full of pleasure if one knows how to use it.
Fruits are most welcome when almost over; youth is most charming at its close; the last drink delights the toper,—the glass which souses him and puts the finishing touch on his drunkenness.
