And the man and the woman who went back into Their Yesterdays found
there the Thirteen Truly Great Things of Life. Just as they found
these things in their grown up days, even unto the end, so they found
them in Their Yesterdays.
Thirteen Truly Great Things of Life there are. No life can have less.
No life can have more. All of life is in them. No life is without them
all.
Dreams, Occupation, Knowledge, Ignorance, Religion, Tradition,
Temptation, Life, Death, Failure, Success, Love, Memories: these are
the Thirteen Truly Great Things of Life--found by the man and the
woman in their grown up days--found by them in Their Yesterdays--and
they found no others.
It does not matter where this man and this woman lived, nor who they
were, nor what they did. It does not matter when or how many times
they went back into Their Yesterdays. These things are all that they
found. And they found these things even as every man and woman finds
them, even as you and I find them, in our days that are and in our
days that were--in our grown up days and in our Yesterdays.
And it is so that in all of these Thirteen Truly Great Things of Life
there is a man and there is a woman.
