Excerpt from Paul KelverAT the corner of a long, straight, brick-built street in the far East End Of London - one of those lifeless streets, made of two drab walls upon which the level lines, formed by the precisely even window-sills and doorsteps, stretch in weary perspective from end to end, suggest ing petrified diagrams proving dead problems - stands a house that ever draws me to it, so that Often, when least conscious of my footsteps, I awake to find myself hurry ing through noisy, crowded thoroughfares, where ¿aring naphtha lamps illumine fierce, patient, leaden-coloured faces, through dim-lit, empty streets, Where monstrous shadows come and go upon the Close-drawn blinds, through narrow, noisome streets, Where the gutters swarm with children, and each ever-open doorway vomits riot, past reeking corners, and across waste places, till at last I reach the dreary goal of my memory-driven desire, and, Coming to a halt beside the broken railings, find rest.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
