London

"The Park is Babel. But in Trafalgar Square, at the foot of Nelson's column and under that patriotic bas-relief of the Death of Nelson-for the British god is a sea god-you hear the Voice of the people. (They have put amplifiers on the noses of the lions there, which gives these soapy figures a new professorial look.)"

"In any case London is traditionally free of hysteria, stoical and disciplined, but not beyond the resources of nature."
