The London Journal of Flora Tristan Quotes

“In London you breathe melancholy in the air, it enters you through all your pores. There is nothing more lugubrious than the appearance of this city on a foggy day or in the rain and dark. It makes you feel profound despair, disgust for everything, and an irresistable desire to end your life by suicide. On such noxious days, the Englishman is under the spell of his climate and behaves like a brute.”
