Cityscapes
All cities are mad: but the madness is gallant.
All cities are beautiful, but the beauty is grim.
A city always contains more than any inhabitant can know, and a great city always makes the unknown and the possible spurs to the imagination.
Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust: A History of Walking
A city is a language, a repository of possibilities, and walking is the act of speaking that language, of selecting from those possibilities.
