Left Page: "VII BROADWAY IF FIFTH AVENUE begins in the past and ends in the future, Broadway begins in the strident present and ends in Albany. But we must preserve the municipal amenities, and confine ourselves to Manhattan Island, on which Broadway is as the central vein of a long leaf."
Right Page: "Jan. 7-11
MANY times, this has happened:
I’m on a bus in New York, or the subway, or walking uptown
on Broadway in the early evening—or walking through Central Park, and I have an inexplicable wave of well-being wash over me.
BROADWAY IS THE CENTRAL VEIN OF A LONG LEAF." - Rights
