bible...an obsolete economic textbook which I know to be not only
scientifically erroneous but without interest or application for the
modern world? How can I adopt a creed which, preferring the mud to
the fish, exalts the boorish proletariat above the bourgeois and the
intelligentsia who, with whatever faults, are the quality in life and
surely carry the seeds of all human advancement? Even if we need a
religion how can we find it in the turbid rubbish of the Red
bookshops? It is hard for an educated, decent, intelligent son of
western Europe to find his ideals here, unless he has first suffered
some strange and horrid process of conversion which has changed all
his values." - JMK, CW IX, p. 258.

CB: Is that "turbid" or "turgid" ?
