There is no thought of pride associated in my mind with the idea of London.

I am always haunted by the awfulness of London: by the great appalling fact of these millions cast down, as it would appear by hazard, on the banks of this noble stream, working each in their own groove and their own cell, without regard or knowledge of each other, without heeding each other, without having the slightest idea how the other lives - the heedless casualty of unnumbered thousands of men.

Sixty years ago a great Englishman, Cobbett, called it a wen.

If it was a wen then, what is it now? A tumour, an elephantiasis sucking into its gorged system half the life and the blood and the bone of the rural districts. - March, 1891.
