Forty-two. His age had astounded him for years, and each time that he had sat so astounded, trying to figure out what had become of the young, slim man in his twenties, a whole additional year slipped by and had to be recorded, a continually growing sum which he could not reconcile with his self-image.

Somebody took my actual physical presence away and substituted this, he had thought from time to time. Oh well, so it went.

It’s incredible. Your whole life you notice things.
