New York City, January 25, 2017

★★★★ The pathetic fallacy finally wore out; clear light came in from the east and a clean breeze met it coming from the west. People went out in sweaters or cloth coats. The sun brushed over the fabric. Conversation could go on outside as long as the clock would allow. At evening the old banging and wailing sounds of the avenue, complete with a growling unintelligible loudspeaker message, came through the windows, open once again.
