Parts from vs. ceases
The below is from an essay written by Ralph Waldo Emerson.
We are often made to feel that there is another youth and age than that which is measured from the year of our natural birth. Some thoughts always find us young and keep us so. Such a thought is the love of universal and eternal beauty. Every man parts from that contemplation with the feeling that it rather belongs to ages than to mortal life.
Then, in a test used this paragraph for a question with one replacement of a word. In the question the underlined part was changed by "ceases."
What I want to ask is whether this alteration is OK.
To me it seems a bit odd.
Could you tell me what you think?

Oh, they're near enough. I see no particular reason for or result of the change. Was it not just a lapse while typing?
