Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Nowadays
Will ask the reader to approach with me in fancy any great city. Let us suppose the open country to be already behind us, a sombre look has come upon the sky, a trodden look on the grass; the air has the look of brooding over some regrettable thing; the hoardings, always ugly, always false, Often indecent, which have been with us all day into distant wolds, multiply here, and suddenly the mean streets rush on us. And how terrible is their meanness. The poorest cot tager beyond in the country, the remote dweller in tents, even houseless wan deters, may turn at any moment, how ever hard their lot, to the hills, the wild wind, the heath, to something that is not in itself base, but is part of a scheme in which the stars themselves.
