Our dominant impression is an impression of a vast irreparable breakdown. Never in all history has there been so great a débâcle before.
The dominant fact for the Western reader, the threatening and disconcerting fact, is that a social and economic system very like our own and intimately connected with our own has crashed. All the shops have ceased.
Every one is shabby; every one seems to be carrying bundles. To walk into some side street in the twilight and see nothing but ill-clad figures, all hurrying, all carrying loads, gives one an impression as though the entire population was setting out in flight.
