The Malady of the Century

CHAPTER II
15/50

Their highest power of activity of mind, which makes men of them, slumbers.

The old gentlemen enjoy themselves with cigars, ices, the prospect of supper; the young men seek pleasant sensations in dancing with beautiful girls.

All that is not only like savages, but like animals.
