The Black Hole
“One of the most ironic was that the mere observation of its wonders made a man feel older than his time, when, instead, it should have made him feel young, filled with the desire for exploration.
Take himself, for example. He was an inhabitant of the years euphemistically called "middle age." Mentally the label meant nothing. His body felt as limber and healthy as when he had graduated from the university, though his mind had adopted the outlook of a wizened centenarian—a centenarian who had seen too much.
C'mon, Harry, he admonished himself. Cut it out. That's wishful thinking. You want to sound like the all-knowing old sage of space. Your problem is you still have the perception as well as the physical sense of well-being of a university student. Imagine yourself the inheritor of the skills of Swift and Voltaire, if you must, but you know darn well you'll never write anything that makes you worthy of sharpening the pencils of such giants.
