The following is from pages 586-587 of Rav Schwab on Chumash.

In a beautiful parable written in Baltimore in 1954 titled "A Jewish Outlook on
Life," based on an early childhood memory, Rav Schwab writes:

Everything which life gives us-and life itself-is time-bound and
time-limited. Success, happiness, beauty, solace, and love arrive in
small packages, neatly packed and carefully weighed. And when we
have made sufficient use of them, the time is suddenly up-much too
quickly and much too early-and we are sent away, back home ... but
the gifts remain here.
