Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from London Idylls This monstrous realm of smoke, This congregated, hungry, hurrying life, This streaming roar of avaricious tides Beating their human foam, on iron shores. These be tales of a City like unto no other city which is to be found upon the earth. In some cities men sing at their work, and the streets are, on most days, abrim with sunlight, and at night, when they are washed with moonshine, there is the sound of song in the air. But in this City labour is very laborious, and the pulse of energy knows no slackening. Its great, grey armies come and go in the great, grey streets, fighting each hour battles that have no record, making no truce with time, and regardless of those interludes which men call pleasure. This City never rests. It is the heart from which the whole earth is fed. It is the ganglion in which the fibres of a world are knotted up. To the careless and impatient eye this City presents no beauty that men should desire it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
