Beauty of Old Age

OLD age is a part of the scheme of life, which was designed to be beautiful from beginning to end. It is the close of a symphony, beautiful in its inception, rolling on grandly and terminating in a climax of sublimity. It is harmonious and admirable according to the scheme of nature. The charms of infancy, the hopes of the spring of youth, and vigor of manhood and the serenity and tranquillity, the wisdom and peace of old age—all these together constitute the true human life, with its beginning, middle, and end a glorious epoch.—Henry Ward Beecher.
