Silence

Alphabet City


"What can New York—noisy, roaring, rumbling, tumbling, bustling, stormy, turbulent New York—have to do with silence? Amid the universal clatter, the incessant din of business, the all-swallowing vortex of the great money whirlpool, the strife and the warfare, and the fever and the trembling— who has any, even distant, idea of the profound repose, the hushed lethargy of silence?"
Walt Whitman, The Journalism: 1834-1846
