Ecclesiastes 12:5. Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish -
This is one of the most beautiful pieces of poetic description that were ever penned. Here we have a true picture of the nervousness which creeps over men in the decline of life.

Ecclesiastes 12:5. And the grasshopper shall be a burden,
Those things that we treated lightly in our youth become a very heavy burden in our later years. A little work wearies, a little care fatigues, and a little trouble frets us as it never used to do.
Ecclesiastes 12:5. And desire shall fail:
The whole nature becomes more calm, and less ambitious, and less ardent than it used to be.
