... from Terry Teachout's Almanac at About Last Night. The permalink doesn't seem to work, so I've copied it:
"Old age is very strange. It has a kind of aloofness. It's lost so much, that you can hardly look upon the old as quite human any more. But sometimes you have a feeling that they've acquired a sort of new sense that tells them things that we can never know."
W. Somerset Maugham, The Narrow Corner
