Quote #4

And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, (20-21)

One ever-present symbol of decay and grime is the newspaper. Newspapers appear in the possession of every member of society; they are littering the streets they walk to work, they are wound into the hair of a poverty-stricken woman, and they are in the hands of businesspeople. No one in society can escape dirt and decay. Some are faced with physical grime, while others are faced with spiritual grime.
