The question is asked,
"Is there anything more beautiful in life
than a boy and a girl
clasping clean 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 an 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.
YES!"Old love."
