wife and children because he cannot find work
enough to give them food and shelter.

The unfit and the unneeded ! The miserable and
despised and forgotten, dying in the social shambles.
The progeny of prostitution of the prostitution of
men and women and children, of flesh and blood,
and sparkle and spirit; in brief, the prostitution of
labor. If this is the best that civilization can do
for the human, then give us howling and naked
savagery. Far better to be a people of the wilder
ness and desert, of the cave and the squatting-place,
than to be a people of the machine and the Abyss.
