Gather ye rosebuds while ye may

Head of Christ
¡¡¡¡ "It is a place that teachers of men spring from and go to." ¡¡¡¡ "It is what you may call a castle, manned by scholarship and religion." ¡¡¡¡ After this figure he was silent a long while, till he added: ¡¡¡¡ "It would just suit me." ¡¡¡¡ ¡¡¡¡ IV ¡¡¡¡ WALKING somewhat slowly by reason of his concentration, the boy-- an ancient man in some phases of thought, much younger than his years in others--was overtaken by a light-footed pedestrian, whom, notwithstanding the gloom, he could perceive to be wearing an extraordinarily tall hat, a swallow-tailed coat, and a watch-chain that danced madly and threw around scintillations of sky-light as its owner swung along upon a pair of thin legs and noiseless boots. Jude, beginning to feel lonely, endeavoured to keep up with him. ¡¡¡¡ "Well, my man! I'm in a hurry, so you'll have to walk pretty fast if you keep alongside of me. Do you know who I am?" ¡¡¡¡ "Yes, I think. Physician Vilbert?" ¡¡¡¡ "Ah--l'm known everywhere, I see! That comes of being a public benefactor."
