Which sentence from Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment" suggests that Dr. Heidegger's character represents wisdom and reason? "My poor Sylvia's rose!" ejaculated Dr. Heidegger, holding it in the light of the sunset clouds; "it appears to be fading again." "I love it as well thus, as in its dewy freshness," observed he, pressing the withered rose to his withered lips. "Yes, friends, ye are old again," said Dr. Heidegger, "and lo! the Water of Youth is all lavished on the ground." "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."

Respuesta :

The first sentence shows Dr. Heidegger's wisdom and reason. He believes and understands that nothing lasts forever - flowers bloom and wither, people age through time, the sun always sets, the day always ends - and even after knowing all of that, he accepts it thinking it's okay to let go. And it is by that thinking makes him a wiser and a more mature person.
