To call them symptoms of decadence may be facile as an explanation, but it has a disturbing ring of truth." Tradition-loving Londoners like to cite John Ruskin's eloquent description of 16th and 17th century Venice, another aging empire built on maritime power: "In the ingenuity of indulgence, in the varieties of vanity, Venice surpassed the cities of Christendom, as of old she had surpassed them in fortitude and devotion...
