G0RKY SEES LONDON DARKLY.
Thinks PiccadiIly at Night Menace 10
Society of England

London, June O-"Whitechapel did not
astonish me. had seen the East Side
in New York"
This is one Of the gloomy observations
which Maxim Gorky makes in describ-
ing his impressions Of London. It is a
most pessimistic screed.
He notes the vast number Of curiosity
shops here and contrasts the old objects
of art with the new:
THE new bear witness to a striving
after simplicity noble aspiration. But.
somehow the work is dull, lifeless. in
voluntary. The melancholy thought en-
tiers the mind that the power Of creation
is dying and the power Of manufac-
ture is taking its place. The old things
are better they are the work Of a cheer
full and healthy generation"
Here. Of course, Gorky's dark view is
the correct one;
Il was painfully struck by the youth
Of those who walk up and down PiccadiIly
by night. In this there is something
Ominous for society. These unfortunate
children enter the market-place Of vice
early, and are quickly swallowed up in
darkness where hunger and death await
them. The short life Of the butterflies Of
the night engenders in the soul hatred
of a society which destroys its defenseless
members so quickly"
