Echoed by Bruce Springsteen in 'Youngstown' (1995):
"When I die I don't want no part of heaven,
I would not do heaven's work well.
I pray the devil comes and takes me
To stand in the fiery furnaces of hell."

Not much has changed; this grimy silk mill (ca. 1866)
is still in operation as a dyeing plant.
