Do you know my friend that each one of us is a dark mystery, a maze of conflicting passions and desire and aptitudes?

Does the real thing ever have the perfection of a stage performance?

I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming... suddenly you find - at the age of 50, say - that a whole new life has opened before you.

Do you know my friend that each one of us is a dark mystery, a maze of conflicting passions and desire and aptitudes?

Real evidence is usually vague and unsatisfactory. It has to be examined---sifted. But here the whole thing is cut and dried. No, my friend, this evidence has been very cleverly manufactured---so cleverly that it has defeated its own ends.

It is completely unimportant. That is why it is so interesting.
