As a man reaches the sixth stage,he becomes old and frail, with many health struggles and his body losing strength. He behaves like a child that needs to be cared for once again.
The seventh stage is when a man is merely waiting for death to come. Having experienced childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, there is nothing more a man could do, with a body turning to dust, and a mind that is blank. "That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything."
