: Hello: : I can't find any information on AN OLD LEAF. I just read it recently. I realize it was written far before the Holocaust ever occurred but it seems very strange and cryptic to me since this story seems to be a forboding phrophecy of what was to come for the Jewish people a few years later. Does anyone have any thoughts or knowledge on this story they would like to share? : Also I just read Before the Law, the last sentence of the story ends with the doorkeeper saying: " No one else could ever be granted admission here, as this gate was just for you. Now I am going to close it." : What leaves me wondering about this is if the man gets admission, all the story says is that the gate is being shut, it doesn't say anything about the man finally being granted admission even though he has spent his whole life waiting and the gate was made just for him.
