And some of your elders remember pleasures with regret like wrongs committed in drunkenness. But regret is the beclouding of the mind and not its chastisement. They should remember their pleasures with gratitude, as they would the harvest of a summer.

It is not a garment I cast off this day, bit a skin that I tear with my own hands... Yet I cannot tarry longer.
