There's always a race against time. I don't think for one moment that life gets better. How can it? One's body starts to fall apart.

But fell like autumn fruit that mellow'd long:

Yet freshly ran he on ten winters more;
Till like a clock worn out with eating time,
The wheels of weary life at last stood still.
