"What caretaker, what Verger of the Temple of the Self...?"
Metaphor in Context
Me? Why, no. Why should it? Some individual pretending to stare at me, whilst his Soul's off God knows where, having Adventures imperfectly recall'd,-- why should any of that trouble me, particularly the Question of what, in thy Absence, is doing the Staring for thee? What caretaker, what Verger of the Temple of the Self...? Eeh!"
