Excerpt from De Senectute

But everything has been said about old age that can possibly be said, I pro tested. Every man who has grown old since Methuselah has thought of old age. Old men are garrulous, and most of them there fore have told their thoughts, and although Methuselah probably never wrote essays about it, very many old men since his time have done so. And there is one immortal little book by Cicero, which he called 0 Tite, and which we 'know as De Senec tute, which, though written almost two thousand years ago, may be figuratively called the last word on the subject. It is an impossible theme you have chosen for me. Letme, as heretofore, choose my own.
