A man walking here. A man walking there. A horse standing at a curbstone with his head hanging. The oval-tinted face of a woman peering out of a taxicab window as it rushes by. These things multiplied a million times . . . And..."

They came in streams and broad waves, breaking in a black sweep over the pavements and spreading into a thick, long mass that moved forward. The glassy lights cut the twilight drizzle with their yellow fire. The tumult grew until up and down the street an unceasing din sounded..." current

The afternoon crowd had melted from the sidewalk, washed into hallways and under awnings by the downpour. It began to look like evening. A refreshing gloom settled over the street. The wind leaped out of alley courts and byways and raced over the pavement, accompa..." current

So I sometimes walk about the city long after the fat world has gone to sleep. I have, like a great many other people whom I do not know, a curious lack of emotion. This thing is called restlessness. In the streets at night my unrest becomes a mild and gentle sorrow, and giv..." current

He stood pressed against the wall of a skyscraper. Hatless, unshaven, thin-lipped and with the eyes of a frightened girl, he stood watching the people in the streets. Their movement on the sidewalk in front of him was li..." current

Old women with shapeless bodies waddled along on their way to market. Bearded old men who looked like the fathers of Jerusalem walked flat-footed, nodding back and forth.

They are older than they were and this fact is like a cello accompaniment to the inner and outer noises of the day.

The journalist's usually choleric voice was weary and his huge body sagged with the heat. "Important, Mishkin? It all depends on how you use the adjective.
