WALL STREET

[/ˈwɔl ˌstriːt/]

Definition

A symbol of sin for every devil to rebuke.
That Wall Street is a den of thieves is a belief that serves every unsuccessful thief in place of a hope in Heaven.
Even the great and good Andrew Carnegie has made his profession of faith in the matter.

Additional notes

Carnegie the dauntless has uttered his call To battle: "The brokers are parasites all!" Carnegie, Carnegie, you'll never prevail; Keep the wind of your slogan to belly your sail, Go back to your isle of perpetual brume, Silence your pibroch, doff tartan and plume: Ben Lomond is calling his son from the fray— Fly, fly from the region of Wall Street away! While still you're possessed of a single baubee (I wish it were pledged to endowment of me) Twere wise to retreat from the wars of finance Lest its value decline ere your credit advance. For a man 'twixt a king of finance and the sea, Carnegie, Carnegie, your tongue is too free! Anonymus Bink
