Even if Clemmens said it, I don't take that statement as anything more
than a witty line. When his daughter died, she was a pre schooler, I
had read the it messed him up. Yes, we can jolly it all away till it
happens to us and hits home. Then its a different story, and I don't
mean Tom Sawyer. Twains last published short story, released after his
death in 1910, was about people rowing about in what turned out to be a
water drop under a microscope, under which an ever present giant eye
monitored the passengers struggle to survive. The eye was Twains idea
of an uncaring God.

Did Mark Twain really say that? I thought the age of the Eartfr was
estimated to be millions of years (as in "The Time Machine") around the
end of the 19th century, but I don't know what people thought the age
of the universe was.
