An individual human existence should be like a river---small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, it merges in the sea, and painlessly loses its individual being. The man who, in the old age, can see life this way, will not suffer from the fear of death, since the things he cares for will continue.
