Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Old People When these chapters on old age were written Miss Paine was not yet sixty. But the signal flags of the other port were out. Age was coming on her prematurely. She had grown very deaf her sight was dimming, and always a delicate woman, chiefly by reason of overwork, she was the daily prey of that exhaustion which slays the weak and fortifies the inwardly strong to more gallant emprise. So at this time she was trying to pierce the darkness of the path while she retained the keenest insight to compare it with the way behind, and her conclusion was that old age - actual old age - is the last enemy to be overcome. I am sure she would have called it rather than death the last enemy, and her working formula was that it must be met with courage and cheerfuless, upon which it becomes at last a friend. Her courage is not bravado, nor the masking of inadequacy under the trappings of a fictitious youthfulness; her cheerfulness is no sulking patience.
