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."

The first sentence because he understands that fact that things wither and die and it is okay to let them go.  In the second sentence he is talking about holding on to youth and that shows that he does not have much wisdom because things dying becomes something people understand and not avoid.  It represents reason because there is no way to hold on to youth which he is trying to accomplish in the second sentence but not the first one.
