In the first place, you must effect an entire change of economic conditions: a preliminary step of which every tyro will recognise the easiness; then you must bring to bear on the new order of things the constant influence of music.

Does not the prescription recommend itself?
It is jesting in earnest.

For, work as you will, there is no chance of a new and better world until the old be utterly destroyed.

Destroy, sweep away, prepare the ground; then shall music the holy, music the civiliser, breathe over the renewed earth, and with Orphean magic raise in perfected beauty the towers of the City of Man.
Hours yet before the fireworks begin.

Never mind; here by good luck we find seats where we can watch the throng passing and repassing.
