Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canon's Ward, Vol. 1 of 3 What 'the High' is to Oxford men, picturesque, unique, unapproachable, 'the Backs' - the river gardens at the backs of their colleges - are to Cambridge men. There is beauty all along the river from St. John's to Corpus; 'linked sweetness' - for do not the bridges join the gardens? - 'long drawn out.' It may be a personal partiality, but I venture to think that immediately in front of Trinity College the beauty of 'the Backs' culminates.
