Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from New York and Other Verses My Own City I Have drunk it in, as a cup of clear water set upon a house-top drinks up the sky and the wheeling of the moon, and the sparkling constellations. Its great grey jagged and smoking shell, like a cage dropped over the white fire of its heart, lives again in rippling cobwebs of ghostly gold among the hanging shadows of the river. But, in the creeks and inlets of my mind, it has made itself another life that the blue-rimmed glare of the hurrying day cannot burn away, nor the midnight´s massive hand brush over the precipice of darkness. The mighty lacework of its bridges, its cliff-faced buildings, the stunning thunder of its streets, and the unheeding flashing cataract of its devouring life are the thoughtless loom upon which I have made my thoughts. And when I die, images on images of the grandiloquent city will live on their own life in my grave with me, like a pattern of embers buried in sleeping seas of sand, like a little handful of twinkling garnets hid in the heart of an ancient hill.
