“ALL you that feel youth slipping past you and that are
desolate at the approach of age, be merry; it is not what it looks like from in
front and from outside. There is a glory in all completion, and all good
endings are but shining transitions. There will come a sharp moment of
revelation when you shall bless the effect of time… All you that have loved
passionately and have torn your hearts asunder in disillusions, do not imagine
that things broken cannot be mended by the good angels.”
~Hilaire Belloc: The Path to Rome.
