Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from London Scenes London summer evening is not always cool, for heat lingers long in her paven, glass-hedged streets. But with the coming of autumn and the falling of drizzle, she raises her head and looks brisk again, and when the fogs have settled upon her and the air is shrewd, then, indeed, she is the metropolis of the world - the great grey mistress of our island plains. There are no streets like her streets then - misty, mysterious, endless; no houses like her grey houses throned upon cloud. She has a dreariness that is poignant and masterful, a shabbiness that is grandiose. The tawdriness of her summer mood has vanished; she wears her grey rags as a queen her robes, like a Cinderella who scorns all satins and crystal slippers - though the crystal slippers are not wanting when the rain splashes up from the transparent ways.
