So I'm now have two readings.

One is from Roger Scruton and one is from someone else.

I'm going to read both.

And then you're going to tell me who wrote what and who wrote the second one. Okay. Once the young people have been jerked

into motion in this way, a vestigial desire for partnership is naturally aroused since the music

suggests sexual emotions and sexual union. Hence they will tend to pair off so as to Paul say face to

face, not usually

looking at each other and certainly not speaking, but acutely aware, nevertheless, of each other's

bodies as things replete with movement and governed by the machine. Their bodies become

sexual objects, voided of personality, since personality is a relational idea, and no relation

exists in the dance floor except that between bodies. Hence, when this kind of

dancing happens, it is very disturbing to see children or old people joining in. Before we guess,

I'm going to read the second one. Okay. The dance floor was lit with red and yellow and blue lights

and a few white lamps and they danced to the tunes of the gramophone and the dance floor was

replete with tapping feet enticing legs, arms wrapped around waist, lips pressed to lips, chest press to chest.

The atmosphere was full of desire. When the minister descended from his office, he looked

intently around the place and at the people and encouraged those men and women still sitting

who would not yet participate in this circus to rise and take part. And as he noticed that the white lamp spoiled the romantic dreamy atmosphere,

he sit about with that typical American elegance and levity,

dimming them all one by one,

all the while being careful not to interfere with the dance

or bump into any couples dancing on the dance floor.
