three youths are distributing surplus posters given away m charity by the
morning newspapers Charlie and Ginger come back with a thick wad of
posters The five largest men now jam themselves together on the bench , Deafie
and the four women sitting across their knees, then, with
infinite
difficulty ( as
it has to be done from the inside), they wrap themselves m a monstrous cocoon
of paper, several sheets thick, tucking the loose ends into their necks or breasts
or between their shoulders and the back of the bench Finally nothing is
uncovered save their heads and the lower part of their legs For their heads
they fashion hoods of paper The paper constantly comes loose and lets in cold
shafts of wind, but it is now possible to sleep for as much as five minutes
consecutively At this time-between three and five m the mormng~it is
customary with the police not to disturb the Square sleepers A measure of
warmth steals through everyone and extends even to their feet There is some
furtive fondling of the women under cover of the paper Dorothy is too far gone
to care
By a quarter past four the paper is all crumpled and torn to nothing, and it is
far too cold to remain sitting down The people get up, swear, find their legs
somewhat rested, and begin to slouch to and fro m couples, frequently halting
from mere lassitude Every belly is now contorted with hunger Ginger’s tin of
condensed milk is tom open and the contents devoured, everyone dipping their
fingers into it and licking them.

reason of discontent the farmers may

having expected to withhold five.

Invested
her with all that's wild and sweet;
This hallowed, too, the memorable kiss
Which every morn his fevered lip would greet,
From hers, who but with friendship his would meet:
But to that gentle touch, through brain and breast
Flashed the thrilled spirit's love-devouring heat;
In that absorbing sigh perchance more blest,
Than vulgar minds may be with all they seek possest.
