You do not realize them. You only realize one unmistakable and insistent fact that you are half dead for want of food, and that nearly all the rest of the world is but newly risen from breakfast, and will later lunch, and dine, and sup, while, unless some good miracle may happen, you must starve, and starve, and starve.
I tell you, Jimmy, to adequately realize the true lack of inwardness of starvation you must endure it in London. London hunger is the guaranteed, hall-marked, warranted, genuine... article. All others are but com- paratively feeble and futile imitations.
At first, aimlessly, I drifted down the road into South London. I was too listlessly un- happy, and too weak, to heed overmuch whither I went. One street was as good, or as bad, as another. One stream of humanity was not less callously indifferent to my needs than any other stream that flowed along any other channel. They were all alike in their cold-blooded, warm-blooded, genial, and sour indifference to me.
But I soon began to realize that West- minster Bridge Road was not a good place for me to be in.
