A man. It's greek saying or something. Oedipus I think. A man crawls as a baby, walks as a man and walks with a stick when old. The morning, noon and evening are metaphors for ages.

Am I right?

Yes its the Riddle of the Sphinx

In Greek mythology, the Sphinx sat outside of Thebes and asked this riddle of all travelers who passed by. If the traveler failed to solve the riddle, then the Sphinx killed him/her. And if the traveler answered the riddle correctly, then the Sphinx would destroy herself.
Oedipus solved the riddle, and the Sphinx destroyed herself.

I studied this at school...... very inserting play actually. Its where Freud got his Oedipus theory
