Albrecht Dürer
The famous artist of the Northern Renaissance whose woodcuts expressed a fascination with religion as well as the natural world. A famous anecdote recounted his desire to see a beached whale he'd heard about, but he arrived too late.
Ambrose
A college student from out of town who loves his little adopted town. He sits and thinks how well he knows the elegant "sugar-bowl shaped summerhouse" and other buildings.
C.J. Poole
The steeple-jack. He is dressed in all "scarlet" and shimmies up the spire like a spider, dropping rope and working on gilding the star. He seems fantastical, perhaps akin to the Devil, but his name is quotidian.
