>Yet I do know that deep down, there is a stratum of deposit, perhaps second or third, counting from the bottom which is finally and inalterably set by now, where our lives no longer change, a strong and solid content in a man, not a sad or dead thing; and some respect is the part that truly lives, the part which had come into being during the course of our lives, out of the very stuff of our lives. The rest of it and what is still to come, but seems merely the swinging and shaking of the deck.
