  Colin MacInnes, "Absolute Beginners" (1959)

  "There in the Dubious which, as I think
  I've said, is in a cellar, the
  instruments resounded with a thunderous
  effect, and as I listened to the sweet
  and soothing sound I once again
  reflected, thank the Lord I was born
  into the jazz age, what on earth could
  it have been when all had to listen to
  was ballad tunes and waltzes? Because
  jazz music is a thing that, as few
  things do, makes you feel really at home
  in the world here, as if it's an okay
  notion to be born a human animal, or so."

                      p. 73-74
