The question is asked, “Is there anything more beautiful in life than a young couple clasping hands and pure hearts in the path of marriage? Can there be anything more beautiful than young love?”
And the answer is given, “Yes, there is a more beautiful thing. It is the spectacle of an old man and old woman finishing their journey together on that path. Their hands are gnarled, but still clasped; their faces are seamed, but still radiant, their hearts are physically bowed and tired, but still strong with love and devotion for one another. Yes, there is a more beautiful thing than young love. Old love.”
