...talk, someone asked Evans what it was like to grow old. "Wonderful said Evans. He described it as a "relief" at "immensely happy period" in which one is "able to reflect, consider," and "see things with greater sensitivity." Feelings and impressions are heightened not blunted and everything is "more sensual even...
