Pale and pinched-up faces hovered about the windows where was tempting food; hungry eyes wandered over the profusion guarded by one thin sheet of brittle glass--an iron wall to them; half-naked shivering figures stopped to gaze at chinese shawls and golden stuffs of india.

More From Charles Dickens

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. there are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. and then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. the world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: what's up with this glass? excuse me? excuse me? this is my glass? i don't think so. my glass was full! and it was a bigger glass! who's been pinching my beer?

When the sun shouts and people abound one thinks there were the ages of stone and the age of bronze and the iron age; iron the unstable metal; steel made of iron, unstable as his mother; the tow-ered-up cities will be stains of rust on mounds of plaster. roots will not pierce the heaps for a time, kind rains will cure them, then nothing will remain of the iron age and all these people but a thigh-bone or so, a poem stuck in the world's thought, splinters of glass in the rubbish dumps, a concrete dam far off in the mountain.

There are photographers who push for war because they make stories. they search for a chinese who has a more chinese are than the others and they end up finding one. they have him take a typically chinese pose and surround him with chinoiseries. what have they captured on their film? a chinese? definitely not: the idea of the chinese.

It makes utter sense to stay healthy and strong, to be as nourishing to the body as possible. yet i would have to agree, there is in many women a 'hungry' one inside. but rather than hungry to be a certain size, shape, or height, rather than hungry to fit the stereotype; women are hungry for basic regard from the culture surrounding them. the 'hungry' one inside is longing to be treated respectfully, to be accepted and in the very least, to be met without stereotyping.
Strong Healing Healthy
I had been hungry all the years- my noon had come, to dine- i, trembling, drew the table near and touched the curious wine. 'twas this on tables i had seen when turning, hungry, lone, i looked in windows, for the wealth i could not hope to own. i did not know the ample bread, 'twas so unlike the crumb the birds and i had often shared in nature's diningroom. the plenty hurt me, 'twas so new,-- myself felt ill and odd, as berry of a mountain bush transplanted to the road. nor was i hungry; so i found that hunger was a way of persons outside windows, the entering takes away.

At today's prices for medicines, doctors and hospitals-if the latter are available at any price-only millionaires can afford to be hurt or sick and pay for it. very few people want socialized medicine in the u.s. but pressure for it is going to appear with the same hurricane force as the demand for pollution control if the medicine men and hospital operators don't take soon some draconian measures... at the present rate of doctor fees and hospital costs under medicare and medicaid plans [taxpayers] are shovelling in billions with nothing but escalation in sight.
