Quotation from: The People of the Abyss

Written by: Jack London


Times have changed, alas! When I was a youngster I used to read of
homeless boys sleeping in doorways. Already the thing has become a
tradition. As a stock situation it will doubtless linger in literature
for a century to come, but as a cold fact it has ceased to be. Here are
the doorways, and here are the boys, but happy conjunctions are no longer
effected. The doorways remain empty, and the boys keep awake and carry
the banner.
