About This Quote
Those of us who are alive experience both the joys and pains of life. We are happy when good things happen to us, but sad when bad things happen to us. Life is full of ups and downs, but in the end it is all forgotten. This quote is about the middle stage of life, where death comes to take our measurements.
We age while we are alive, and while we are alive we experience both the joys and pains of life. While we are young, death seems very far away. When we are elderly, however, death comes to take our measurements.
The visit has been forgotten but the suit is being sewn on the sly.
