Summary

This quote suggests that as a Christian grows older and closer to the end of their life, they become more like a "point of earth" that is closest to heaven. The "snow of time" upon their head symbolizes wisdom and experience gained over the years. It implies that with age, one's faith and spirituality reach a higher level, making them more connected to the divine. Therefore, the closer a person is to the end of their earthly journey, the purer and more virtuous they become, resembling a pristine white point closest to heaven.

People accuse journalism of being too personal; but to me it has always seemed far too impersonal. It is charged with tearing away the veils from private life; but it seems to me to be always dropping diaphanous but blinding veils between men and men. The Yellow Press is abused for exposing facts which are private; I wish the Yellow Press did anything so valuable. It is exactly the decisive individual touches that it never gives; and a proof of this is that after one has met a man a million times in the newspapers it is always a complete shock and reversal to meet him in real life.
