Contrast

Fifth Avenue


"The thing that interested me then as now about New York—as indeed about any great city, but more definitely New York because it was and is so preponderantly large—was the sharp, and at the same time immense, contrast it showed  between the dull and the shrewd, the strong and the weak, the rich and the poor, the wise and the ignorant."
Theodore Dreiser, The Color of a Great City
