This picture exemplifies the theme of the poem because it shows how fast time goes by; it shows how meaningless it really is. "The Clerks" illustrates a group of elderly men that are "just as human as they ever were." Time does not change anything about who a person is, despite the many fears of the younger generations. "What comes of all your visions and your fears?" is saying that there is not point in fearing growing old, for it is going to happen no matter what, and we should not waste away our years worrying and fearing our aging. Growing old is not something to fear.
