What's behind Pretty City facade?
Stacks of New Jersey, workin' hard.

autark કહ્યું...

I am swinging in the sky,
I am wringing worlds awry;
I am the thought of the throbbing mills,
I am the soul of the soul-toil kills,
Wraith of the ripple of trading rills;
Up I’m curling from the sod,
I am whirling home to God;
I am the Smoke King
I am black.
I am the Smoke King
I am black!
I am wreathing broken hearts,
I am sheathing love’s light darts;
Inspiration of iron times
Wedding the toil of toiling climes,
Shedding the blood of bloodless crimes
Lurid lowering ’mid the blue,Torrid towering toward the true,
I am the Smoke King
I am black.
I am the Smoke King
I am black!
I am darkening with song, I am hearkening to wrong!

(W.E.B. Du Bois)

Props to B.

rhhardin કહ્યું...

It looks like cats' feet to me.

Trooper York કહ્યું...

Instead of the poems I had hoped for, there came only a shuddering blackness and ineffable loneliness; and I saw at last a fearful truth which no one had ever dared to breathe before — the unwhisperable secret of secrets — The fact that this city of stone and stridor is not a sentient perpetuation of Old New York as London is of Old London and Paris of Old Paris, but that it is in fact quite dead, its sprawling body imperfectly embalmed and infested with queer animate things which have nothing to do with it as it was in life.
(H.P. Lovecraft "He" - Written 11 August 1925; first published in Weird Tales, Vol. 8, No. 3 September 1926)

so overwhelmed by the hospitality."---Barbara Bush (2005)

"And so many of the people in the arena here, you
know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this (she
chuckles slightly) is working very well for them."---Barbara Bush (2005)

So??? Is there a point anywhere in Maxine's posting?

Cedarford કહ્યું...

I really like that picture! Instant moodiness. Well done, Althouse!

My quick mental impressions were - this could be the jacket cover for a mystery, thriller novel....Picasso's Blue Period..a blue mint oreo sandwich..

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

It actually was that blue. I turned up the saturation a little but didn't change the hue or "temperature."
