"yes, friends, ye are old again," said dr. heidegger, "and lo! the water of youth is all lavished on the ground. well, i bemoan it not; for if the fountain gushed at my very doorstep, i would not stoop to bathe my lips in it; no, though its delirium were for years instead of moments. such is the lesson ye have taught me! "
