He went the way of many a better, older, wiser man the easy, rose-strewn way, big and broad and scented, that ends in a bottomless abyss filled with bitter tears and nauseating regrets; the abyss called, "It might have been."
Life had acquired a new interest. The days that followed were not rose-strewn. Disgrace sat heavily upon the delinquent, and he did penance by foregoing the joys of society. Menial labor and the knowledge that he would not be allowed to land, but would be sent back by the first steamer, were made all the more unbearable by his first experience with illness.
Save for this, it was, right across the brown, rose-strewn carpet, naked country. Truly a perilous business.
Idle revellers might loll on their rose-strewn couches as they 'sing idle songs to the sound of the viol and devise for themselves instruments of music, like David, but the austerer choir of the Temple despised ease, and stood ready for service and in the best bodily posture for song. The second important word of the text brings other thoughts no less valuable and rich in practical counsel.
At that time Elmira was as a shy child to her own emotions, and Jerome's were all sleeping.

Never before had so pleasant a sight been seen in Rhineland, as that glorious array of king-folk and lords and ladies wending from river to fortress along the rose-strewn roadway. Foremost went the king, and by his side was Siegfried on the radiant Greyfell.
