“…On all sides something is going on; everywhere there is colour, light, and movement.”
“…fallen Elm-leaves make a… pavement under our feet.”
“Morning gave us a new world--somewhere between Heaven and Earth.”
“…Manhattan, with its compact mass, its spires, its cloud-touching edifices…”
"...the lighthouses flashing in the distance, and ship lights on the water, and the dark places..."
“…the mighty Alps, whose white and shining pyramids and domes towered above all, as belonging to another earth…”
“…between them is a swarm of gondolas.”
