    What good is life when golden love is gone?Frankly, I would rather be dead than ignore a girl's warm surrender, her soft arms in bedat night, the lovely flower of youth that all women and men desire!When old age comes a man feels feeble and ugly and crawls undera crushing sorrow.He loses the simple joyof looking at the sun.Children despise him.He is repulsive to young women—in this sadblind alley which God has made of old age.
