<p><strong>Blast</strong> years <b>1837</b> to <b>1900</b></p>
<p><strong>Curse</strong> <b>abysmal inexcusable</b> middle-class <span>(also Aristocracy and Proletariat).</span></p>
<p><strong>Blast</strong> pasty shadow cast by gigantic <b>Boehm</b> <span><b>(</b>imagined at introduction of <b>bourgeois Victorian vistas).</b></span></p>
<p><strong>Wring</strong> <b>the neck of</b> all sick inventions born in that progressive white wake.</p>

<p><span><b>Snobbish Borrovian</b> running after <b>gipsy kings</b> and <b>espadas</b></span> <span>bowing the knee to wild Mother Nature, her feminine contours, Unimaginative insult to <b>man</b>.</span></p>
<p><strong>Damn</strong> all those to-day who have taken on that Rotten Menagerie, and still crack their whips and tumble in Piccadilly Circus, as though London were a provincial town.</p>
<p>
	<b>We whisper in your ear a great secret.</b>
</p>
<p>
	<b>London is <em>not</em> a provincial town.</b>
</p>
<p>We will allow Wonder Zoos, But we do not want the <b>gloomy Victorian circus</b> in Piccadilly Circus.</p>
<p>
	<strong>It is Piccadilly’s circus!</strong>
</p>
<p><span><b>Not meant for menageries</b> trundling out of Sixties <b>Dickensian clowns,</b></span> <span><b>Corelli lady riders,</b> <b>troups of performing gipsies</b> (who complain besides that 1/6 a night does not pay fare back to Clapham).</span></p>
