R Times' ruins

In The Education of Henry Adams, Adams discusses what time's ruins, of Rome in particular, have taught him: "Young men as a rule saw little in Italy, or anywhere else, and in after life, when Adams began to learn what some men could see, he shrank into corners of shame ...." Burbank experiences a similar learning process, albeit a literary one.
