It Was Carnival Time In The Ancient And Once Imperial, But Now
Provincial And Remote, City Of Ravenna. It Was Carnival Time, And
The Very Acme And High-Tide Of That Season Of Mirth And Revel. For
The Theory Of Carnival Observance Is, That The Life Of It, Unlike
That Of Most Other Things And Beings, Is Intensified With A
Constantly Crescendo Movement Up To The Last Minutes Of Its
Existence. And There Now Remained But An Hour Before Midnight On The
Tuesday Preceding The First Day Of Lent, Ash Wednesday--Dies
Cinerum!--That Sad And Sober Morrow Which Has Brought With It
"Sermons And Soda-Water" To So Many Generations Of Revellers.
