Howling 0 ▲ Laudator Temporis Acti 1 hour ago · Writing · hide Charles Dickens (1812-1870), Little Dorrit, Book I, Chapter 2: 'No more of yesterday's howling over yonder to-day, Sir; is there?' 'I have heard none.' 'Then you may be sure there is none. When these people howl, they howl to be heard.' 'Most people do, I suppose.' 'Ah! but these people are always howling. Never happy otherwise.' 'Do you mean the Marseilles people?' 'I mean the French people. They're always at it. As to Marseilles, we know what Marseilles is. It sent the most insurrectionary tune into the world that was ever composed. It couldn't exist without allonging and marshonging to something or other — victory or death, or blazes, or something.'
