Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Daughter of Helen Kent Morning lay upon the city. The sky had been grey, and the shadowed faces of the skyscrapers had glowered like sombre gods out upon the waters. But as the sun began to break through, it silvered the countless aigrettes of steam that tossed on high, it fell upon the slate-coloured water like handfuls of broken crystals spattering light as they struck. With the sun came a sense of buoyant promise. From the first hint of day the city had been drawing insatiably from all directions. Early milk wagons had clattered over cobbles, vegetable trucks had lumbered in, funereally swathed, workmen had come running to catch boats and cars. As the morning advanced, the flow had increased, and now the city was fuming as it greedily sucked in life from everywhere.
