More Vita
Oh my darling Hadji, how much one dislikes growing older! I know how you hate it. You know how much I hate it. But I think the reason we both hate it is a double reason: the superficial reason is the physical reason, that one gets fat and bald and what-have-you, in the American phrase, but the real deep reason for us, you and me, is that we hate the idea of leaving Life, as we must, twenty to thirty years hence, and we both love life and enjoy it.
