The literature of the poor, the feelings of the child, the philosophy of the street, the meaning of household life, are the topics... of the time. It is a great stride. It is a sign,--is it not? of new vigor, when the extremities are made active, when currents of warm life run into the hands and the feet.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
