Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lays of Chinatown Oh, sweet Cathayan airs released To waft the odors of the East, While sheening silks and jeweled shoes The Orient´s further charms transfuse; Of such my radiant childhood dreamed - With such my expectation teemed - So fair, I read, was Chinatown. Golden legends of a place, Tinkle, silvery bells! Full of romance, full of grace, So the sybil tells. From sullen skies a cheerless rain That floods the half-choked gutter drain, And houses that for years have stood Ramshackle dens of brick and wood, Worn doors, uncurtained window-panes, And mucky streets and garbage lanes - And this is - this - is Chinatown! Pattering feet of Chinamen, Holima, Ching-la; Ribald girls of Chinatown; Joss! how foul they are. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
