To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
(lim.). And O Babylon, didst thou not know A single impresario of the Oscar Haramerstein species? — (Wegglike, one involuntarily drops into poetry at the mere thought of him). Was there not one Hebrew "barker" within thy gates? Well mightst thou laugh to scorn the curses of Jeremiah ! . . .
It seems probable that the Babylonians were not given to anything like so much of the Noise we euphemistically term music, at their public and pri- vate entertainments. The thought calls up a yearn- ing regr...et for Babylon, in spite of the harsh opin- ions of Jeremiah. In this particular, who shall question their good taste ? The spectacle of people trying to eat and converse while suffering the im- pact of a strident phonograph, an athletic orchestra, a leather-lunged tenor, a screeching soprano or a colored quartet, — was doubtless undreamed of in Babylon, and had such aids to enjojTnent flourished there, they would perhaps have made unnecessary some of the curses of Jeremiah. So, too, it may be granted that the Babylonian idea of a good time never comprehended those alleged cafes-chantants BABYLON 20 1 (Parisian-Hebrew) where people vulgarly eat and drink the while vulgarity "entertains" them from the stage.
