Excerpt from God's Gentlemen

Why in not a few cases do young men of sound nature and fine promise take to drink or otherwise go to the dogs? The reason is not always to be found in wanton love for things bestial. Why do the penniless, rescued out-of-works decline to migrate from the East End slums to the industrial Farm Colony, or so soon forsake its quiet rural occupations and plain comforts and return to their former struggle for existence among the weltering millions? Their inextinguishable thirst for warm, vital hu life, their preference for the lit streets and lively phantasmagoria and the scenic stir of the city to the inanimate monotony of the country with its deadly feel of solitude.
