Swimming-Hole

North Williamsburg landing

"New York was like a great swimming-hole into which every day I dived, here, there, anywhere, and swam around for something or somebody worth getting."
Lincoln Steffens, The Autobiography of Lincoln Steffens

Sentiment

"I came to love New York; I had a sentiment about the people, the business, the politics, and the streets of the great city which cared neither for me nor for itself."
Lincoln Steffens, The Autobiography of Lincoln Steffens
