The Student Vagabond

A vague fragrance hangs in the wind as it eddics up from out the South. Dirty puddles lie among the cobble-stones. the earth gives, and boots are splashed with brown. The sun is shining and great clouds trundle away or crumble in the blue like fallen ramparts. A housewife wipes her red hands upon an apron and smiles down at the first bewildering crocus. Horses in the shafts steam and try to forget their winter coats. Old gentlemen on Marl bore Street hang up their Chesterfields and derbies. Little boys go shouting into a tumbled house and little girls wear blue.

The great grey Cadillacs glide up to great buildings. Top hats and spats swagger along Commonwealth, while Malacca canes set the pavements smarting. An ascot tie and a white pearl move slowly up the wide stone steps. Black velvet and grey feathers sweep to the sidewalk and a car door slams. young men with their fathers' money and fathers with fathers' money smile stiffly to one another. Cameras snap and the papers have a picture of a bent leg and averted gaze underneath a resounding name.

A chorus sings and there is special cello music. Greenery runs around the choir loft and lilies stand beside the pulpit. A Deacon searches vaguely for a name to fit the face he sees. Old men fumble for a forgotten pew. Tapers gutter in the hasty draft, while a child twists his father's watch chain.

Cakes glide on to the table with dessert. On the dark mahogany there is candy. Cigarette sales mount. Cocktails tinkle in the glistening shaker. Movies, dances, theatres, good food, bad food, candles, papers, photographs, fine cars, feathers, spats, pearls, music, cameras, Easter.
