But art is art, we held, and the value of a good book is not changed by the fact that its author is wrong about the rights of women or the referendum. The only kind of writing we scorned was the stupid and the fraudulent. Toward genuine literature we were as friendly as the medieval monks who saved the literary treasures of paganism from destruction. Yes, our radicalism had all the nobility and all the weaknesses of a young faith. We were no mere parlor 155 AN AMERICAN IN THE MAKING socialists,... we toilers of the slums. Our atheism was no affectation; our anarchism was not a fad to make conversation with over the tea-cups. Nor were we concerned with the improvement of our own material condition merely. We were engaged in the regeneration of society, and we were prepared to take up arms in the great social revolution which we saw daily drawing nearer. We were all missionaries, and some of us were quite genuine bigots. On the Day of Atonement, when all the conservative people of the quarter fasted and repented and knelt in prayer, we ostentatiously went about with big cigars in our mouths and bags of food in our pockets; and in the afternoon we met in the public square and marched off in a body with flags and trumpets to the atheist picnic somewhere in Brooklyn.
