Suddenly an immense sweat streams down my skin, and I tremble, seeing the blossom of youth, its beauty and joy. If only it lasted longer, but it is shortlived like a dream, youth which I adore. Heavy, formless age suddenly hangs overhead, loathsome and despised, making a man unrecognizable, and, poured about his eyes and brain, it mangles them.
