For A Favorite Relative Upon Reaching A Milestone Birthday
“In spite of illness, in spite even of the arch-enemy sorrow, one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways.”
—Edith Wharton, in A Backward Glance: An Autobiography
