—Well
it's, yes of course that's what happens isn't it, he said as though
again called on to explain, pursuing it as he had the house itself,
welcoming facts proof against fine phrases that didn't mean anything
with —all those glorious colours the leaves turn when the
chlorophyll breaks down in the fall, when the proteins that are tied
to the chlorophyll molecules break down into their amino acids that
go down into the stems and the roots. That may be what happens to
people when they get old too, these proteins breaking down faster
than they can be replaced and then, yes well and then of course,
since proteins are the essential elements in all living cells the
whole system begins to disinteg..
It
seems there are similarities between the animal and the vegetal
aging, apart from the exchangable adjetives: glum, overripe…
whithered! much harder.
“Insane,
whithered or dead” were the three possibilities, terrible
possibilities, for women, according to a Mexican poet.
The
Fisiology assesor of this blog told me that the text says the truth
about the chlorophyll, but not so much about the animal proteins,
from a scientific view. Maybe you, like I, have the feeling that the
text should have more commas, I guess the author has made it in this
way on purpose.
