Byron R. Newton Quote

Vulgar of manner overfed. Overdressed and underbred Heartless Godless hell's delight Rude by day and lewd by night Bedwarfed the man o'ergrown the brute Ruled by boss and prostitute Purple-robed and pauper-clad Raving rotting money-mad A squirming herd in Mammon's mesh A wilderness of human flesh Crazed with avarice lust and rum New York thy name's Delirium.
