And Vladimir Semyonitch went on writing his articles, laying wreaths on coffins, singing Gaudeamus, busying himself over the Mutual Aid Society of Moscow Journalists. He fell ill with inflammation of the lungs; he was ill in bed for three months at first at home, and afterwards in the Golitsyn Hospital. An abscess developed in his knee.
They sang Gaudeamus igitur, formed up into column, and picking up from the crowd any young men who sympathised with them, marched gravely and resolutely from the Market Place to the University buildings, to open the cells and set free the students who had been arrested.
He drank countless healths with his companions to the Kaiser whom he did not know and for whom he did not care a rap. He would thunder in his noisy voice the traditional Gaudeamus Igitur and finally would catch two models of the party around the waist and with his arms stretched out like a cross carry them through the woods till he dropped them on the grass as if they were feathers.
"And I am a Roman Catholic. What then? I have been at a Gaudeamus, and why might not you have been at one too?
Leaving the Emperor's palace, the procession passed through Unter den Linden and the Brandenburg Gate to the Thiergarten, where amid a dense and surging throng the students threw their burning torches in a heap and sang over the expiring flames, "Gaudeamus igitur juvenes dum sumus."
Besides, I know the student; at home he makes saintly faces, as if he would not disturb water, but when once let loose, be it in an inn, be it in a coffee-house, there he will sit beside his beer, and join in a competition, to see who is the greatest tippler, shout and sing 'Gaudeamus igitur. That is why I don't allow students to carry violins under their top-coats to inns, under any circumstances.
But Gaudeamus, sweet is pleasure after pains Tom, and all you sailors and tailors I love to class you together are tender not hearted creatures. Strange now that there should be three classes of his Majesty's subjects, who never can be taught to ride, to whom riding is, in fact, a physical impossibility; and these three are the aforesaid sailors and tailors, and dragoon officers.
If you come about eight you will find food; if you come later you will also find food of a sketchier kind. People have a habit of dropping in on Sunday evening. There's music if anyone feels inclined to make any, and if they don't they are made to. Some people come early, others late, and they stop to breakfast if they wish. It's a gaudeamus, you know, a jolly, a jamboree.
Then the trumpets and horns flared out the grand old hymn of student life, the 'Gaudeamus igitur, juvenes dum sumus, and all those fresh young voices took up the strain with that perfect unison which only Germans know how to give to an improvised chorus Gaudeamus igitur, juvenes dum sumus, post jucundam juventutem, post molestam senectutem, nos habebit humus, nos habebit humus.
But his fury waned, he fell back as in a stupor, and lay silent, little twitches passing over his sightless face. She bent over him, terribly distressed. Should she go? Should she ring again? Presently words came from his lips at intervals, abrupt, disconnected, and now a ribald laugh, and now a tearful sigh. And then he was a student humming: "Gaudeamus igitur, juvenes dum sumus,"
