Abstract
[Machine translation] Especially as they age, many wonder about the time that remains, and it is nice to see how, in a perspective rooted in life, that time reveals a strength and resistance to stay, avoiding only a quantitative calculation. The time that remains is the time advanced (quantitatively), but which is also 'advanced' (qualitatively), as a level ahead of the others. Advanced is the age, which is also said to be elderly. And to get ready, which the word time has in it, means to grow old, but also to delay, that is, to delay, to pause, to hold back. The opposite of getting ready is to decide, to leave without delay, “without a time in between”: it is this “time in between”, this in-between, that allows us to delay.
