to make a survey. the river flows beneath; barges pass, laden with timber, bursting
with corn; there on one side are the domes and spires of the city; on the other,
westminster and the houses of parliament. it is a place to stand on by the hour,
dreaming. but not now. now we are pressed for time. now we are here to consider
facts; now we must fix our eyes upon the procession - the procession of the sons of
educated men."

a) provides a good view of the procession of the sons of educated men.
