It Is Not Too Late to Create at Any Age
The passage argues that aging brings no end to achievement. It cites Cato learning Greek at eighty, Sophocles writing grand works, Simonides winning prizes late, Theophrastus continuing at ninety, Chaucer composing in later life, and others completing masterpieces after fourscore. It concludes age is opportunity, not day’s end, as stars appear in the evening sky.
