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.
