The Beauty of Love
The question is asked， “Is there anything more beautiful in life than a boy and a girl clasping clean hands and pure hearts in the path of marriage？ Can there be anything more beautiful than young love？”
And the answer is given. “Yes， there is a more beautiful thing. It is the spectacle of an old man and an old woman finishing their journey together on that path. Their hands are gnarled， but still clasped； their faces are seamed， but still radiant； their hearts are physically bowed and tired， but still strong with love and devotion for one another. Yes， there is a more beautiful thing than young love. Old love.”
有人问道：“生命中有没有比青年男女紧握对方纯洁的双手和心灵，走向婚礼的殿堂更美的事呢？有没有什么事物比年轻的爱更美丽？”
有人回答：“有啊，有更美的事。那就是一对老年夫妇一起走在小路上，他们的手饱经风霜，但仍然紧紧相握；他们的脸布满皱纹，却依然容光焕发；肉体上，他们的心已经衰老，但那里面依然有对彼此强烈的爱和虔诚。是的，有比年轻的爱更美丽的事，那就是年老的爱。”
