It grows dusk. The roads leading from the different places of suburban resort, are crowded with people on their return home, and the sound of merry voices rings through the gradually darkening fields. The evening is hot and sultry. The rich man throws open the sashes of his spacious dining-room, and quaffs his iced wine in splendid luxury. The poor man, who has no room to take his meals in, but the close apartment to which he and his family have been confined throughout the week, sits in the tea-garden of some famous tavern, and drinks his beer in content and comfort. The fields and roads are gradually deserted, the crowd once more pour into the streets, and disperse to their several homes; and by midnight all is silent and quiet, save where a few stragglers linger beneath the window of some great man’s house, to listen to the strains of music from within: or stop to gaze upon the splendid carriages which are waiting to convey the guests from the dinner-party of an Earl. - Charles Dickens, Sunday under Three Heads

Note: new series! Let’s see how far I can finish this one. There suppose to be six of them. Shall we say three is a good aim? This list is dub, with several key artists (Marley, King Tubby). What other mood than that “dubby” feeling of effect filled raggae? I’ll figure out what this series is about by third post. Otherwise, comment away …
