The hardest things to comprehend in life are failure and age; which are, by some sense, one and the same thing. Perfection is the consequence of age, eternity; wait long enough and everything will realize its potential. Coal becomes diamonds, sand becomes pearls, apes become men! Its simply not given to us, in one lifetime, to see those consummations, and so every failure becomes a reminder of death.
However, love lost is a special kind of failure. Its a reminder that some consummations,no matter how devoutly wished for, never come; that some apes will never become men, not in all ages!
Whats a monkey to think, who with a typewriter and eternity still cant eke out Shakespeare?
