page 76: JA Rogers on jazz - "It is just the epidemic contagiousness of jazz that makes it, like measles, sweep the block." (with end-of-chapter footnote ref to Alain Locke's contemporaneous anthology _The New Negro_ which seems to be kind of a touchstone - makes one think of the text for Jes' Grew, although obviously it isn't identical with it)(right?)
from an essay entitled "Jazz at Home" - here's a link to most of it

Jazz in Print (1859-1929)<https://books.google.com/books?id=sol334hPuRoC&pg=PA389&lpg=PA389&dq=ja+rogers+it+is+just+the+epidemic+contagiousness+of+jazz&source=bl&ots=FDKJ-JYmCO&sig=ACfU3U0FK9IJ97OeIDOpBFlYdbmh_0Nc0g&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiFweaz9uXtAhXBx1kKHYmsAnkQ6AEwBHoECAEQAg#v=onepage&q=ja%20rogers%20it%20is%20just%20the%20epidemic%20contagiousness%20of%20jazz&f=false>
This anthology was compiled to aid the scholar working on the origins and evolution of jazz. Covering materials published through 1929, it also begins with article from 1859 which do not concern jazz directly, but will serve to present a solid foundation for understanding the American music scene from which jazz developed. Chronologically listed and well-indexed, the hundreds of articles comprise, in effect, a history of jazz as it evolved. Beginning with accounts of Negro music in the pre-jazz era, continuing in an exploration of spirituals, followed by a description of ragtime, we finally learn about the development of jazz from its practitioners and informed audiences of the time.

obtuse detournement of the lyric (afaict) to apply after a list of Wallflower Order underlings, the restiveness of whom is somehow curbed by the Wallflower Order's WWI surplus submarine (its presence intimidates? it's used for extrajudicial extractions?)

"one never knows, does one?
When love will come along
Then so suddenly life turns out to be a song
One never knows, does one?
The moment or the place
Then right before your eyes
Someone occupies your embrace
Someday look and you'll find
Two hearts were blessed
Someday fate may be kind
Pray for the future, hope for the best
One never knows, does one?
That's just the way it goes
All at once you hear "Hold me, caress me" and then
Love may come but when, one never knows."
