"If you are tired of Babilonium, so the saying goes, then you are tired of life, for among its tents and its stages, its hippodromes and its arenas, is every species of frolicsome thing that can be devised by masker, menagerist, musician, mountebank, or magician. I have never left that island but with a sense that I have taken only a sip of its pleasures, and promising myself I will return there soon."
