13/23 Rogues and rascals, brutes in human form, and human forms that are harking back to the brute abound also. This is the wonder of underworld. Some of its inhabitants have come down, and are going lower still. Others are struggling with slippery feet to ascend the inclined plane that leads to the world above. Some in their misery are feebly hoping for a hand that will restore them to the world they have for ever lost! And there are others who find their joy in this netherworld! For here every restraint may be abandoned and every decency may be outraged. |
