Modern Grub Street Other Essays (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Modern Grub Street Other Essays
All the world's an eligible building plot, and all the men and woman merely builders - all more less busy raising this wonderful fabric of Civilised Society, much as the anxious builders of old built their Tower of Babel, and with very much the same object. They feared and were fortifying themselves against the possible coming of another Flood; we fear and are fortifying ourselves against our own natural, savage instincts and impulses; we are gradually raising our mighty fabric of civilisation higher and higher in the hope of making it too strong and high for any waters of barbarism ever to batter it down and flow over us again.
