The older woman's love is not love of herself, nor of herself mirrored in a lover's eyes, nor is it corrupted by need.

I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Here, with whitened hair, desires failing, strength ebbing out of him, with the sun gone down and with only the serenity and the calm warning of the evening star left to him, he drank to Life, to all it had been, to what it was, to what it would be. Hurrah!
