I have a lovely answer for 22 down but it does not fit in with the multiworded clue starting at 23 and involving 52 letters in toto. Can anyone explain?

Thank you kayakamina. I see now that LIFE IS is in the grid but it is in 22a. On the computer (mine anyway) the long clue is mis-directed through 22d not 22a. Now I can continue happily. Thanks to all.

I think 22d/15a is Lady of Leisure - what doesn't it fit with?

And I might even be able to answer my own question. It seems that LIFE IS missing from this crossword. My original lovely answer remains in place.

Now, is this a mistake in the crossword, or is there something very clever that I have missed?
"lif is " is in 2 clues life is too short and it's in the long quotation
sorry "LIFE IS"
Life is (22a) goes with 14a AND is part of the 52 letter quotation

To greencj01 :-
Lady of Leisure works for me too (nice joke, not intended). The problem is that the first part of this clue is also clued in 23 in which it fits as LIFE IS rather than LADY OF.
