the problem does n't lie with her age , because she does n't age , and the problem does n't lie in the scars and the markings she has gained through the unprompted persistence of living , just as the problem does n't lie in the physical manifestations of the hundreds of childbirths she endured before she lost her uterus , and the problem does n't lie in the fact that notions of beauty have drastically changed since she drank the immortality potion- the problem was that none of the men she serviced would ever grow old enough to share anything significant with her .
