"I could not help looking for some time at him as I sat in the remise--the more I look'd at him, his croix, and his basket, the stronger they wove themselves into my brain."
Metaphor in Context
Such a reverse in man's life awakens a better principle than curiosity: I could not help looking for some time at him as I sat in the remise--the more I look'd at him, his croix, and his basket, the stronger they wove themselves into my brain--I got out of the remise and went towards him.
