Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Million a Minute a Romance of Modern, New York and Paris On a mellow afternoon in late Fall, the gardens of Madison Square were all aglow, like a monstrous palette: flower-beds and foliage, at their most brilliant, a blend of such living tints as no mere earthly artist may; ever attain. Quaintance, looking out on the enlivening scene for the first time after long, weary years of exile, conscious that nowhere in all his wanderings had he found outlook so thoroughly to his liking, paused in the pillared porch of the Fifth Avenue Hotel to drink it in at his leisure and in more detail. The dry, rustling leaves were letting long shafts of light through or cast dancing shadows across the trim, verdant turf close bordered by low benches all black with the flotsam of the busy city. The paved walks, patterned in arabesque upon the green, rang with the cries of children at their play. The pulsing fountain in their midst threw up with rhythmic regularity a sparkling silver column, which broke, and fell back, like liquid diamonds. The air was like new wine.
