"The Passing of the Third Floor Back" (1908)
“
Nothing—so it seems to me...is more beautiful than the love that has weathered the storms of life. … The love of the young for the young, that is the beginning of life. But the love of the old for the old, that is the beginning of—of things longer.
— Jerome K. Jerome
