[Gutenberg 56178] • Forward from Babylon

Excerpt from Forward From Babylon

A fear and a helpless rage seized the faces there, always only half seen in the gloom Of the kitchen. By day, beyond the bars which uselessly scowled against the small glass panes, the drab walls Of the house next door kept away everything but a dirty and dubious light. By night, the flare of the coal-gas jet distorted his father, Reb Monash, and his own feet on the fender, and the sofa into things of blurred, awkward lines.
