<News>: (99) IMPRESSIONS OF A JOURNEY BY A GREAT POET: "One of the curiosities of Frankfurt that will soon disappear, I fear, is the butcher's shop. it [sic] is impossible to see a more splendid pile of fresh flesh. The bloody butchers and pink butchers' wives chat gracefully under garlands of legs of mutton. A red stream, its colour barely altered by two gushing fountains, runs and smokes in the middle of the street!" (The Rhine by Victor Hugo Volume 2 page 357)
