The
civilization
of
Greece
and
the
glory
of
Roman
architecture
are
so
marvelous
and
remarkable
that
they
should
be
described
at
least
in
a
brief
account;
however,
what
the
student
could do was only one single utterance :鈥渨hoa!鈥?nbsp;without any any specific comment.

Since
the
subjunctive
mood
his
son
used
is
a
fairly
advanced
grammar
structure,
the
interjection鈥渨hoa!鈥漴eflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son; it also reflects the
author鈥檚 humor in using the word because it was once used by his student, though in two different
situations and with two different feelings.
