New York in the Fog

Helen Keller at Madame Tussauds

"New York has a special interest for me when it is wrapped in fog. Then it behaves very much like a blind person."
Helen Keller, quoted in Writing New York

Where Mankind is Real

Fifth Avenue

"Cut off as I am, it is inevitable that I should sometimes feel like a shadow walking in a shadowy world. When this happens I ask to be taken to New York City. Always I return home weary but I have the comforting certainty that mankind is real and I myself am not a dream."
Helen Keller, Midstream
