The younger man, with his open palm, beckons the older man to join. The older man hears the younger mans case , but chooses not to( symbolized by not putting his bag or staff down) The older man, towards the end of his life, is traveling, seeking or searching for something other than what the younger man has found.

From the Romantic period (1815-1848)
