Answer» Duke Senior says that adversity can be put to good use, and can even turn out to teach us a valuable lesson. It is like a disgusting and poisonous toad, but one that bears a precious gem on its head. He is thankful that he has been released from courtly life, and has also found substitutes for everything he has had to leave behind. In place of the conversation of nobles and courtiers, he has found the rustling of the leaves in trees. In place of books, he has found the running waters of small streams within the forest. In place of sermons, he has found the smooth stones of the forest floor. |
