    "If you don't mind me asking," came the bell-like tones of the
    Golden Diana, "I'd like to know where you got that City Hall
    brogue. I did not know that Liberty was necessarily Irish." "If
    ye'd studied the history of art in its foreign complications,
    ye'd not need ask," replied Mrs. Liberty, "If ye wasn't so light
    and giddy ye'd know that I was made by a Dago and presented to
    the American people on behalf of the French Government for the
    purpose of welcomin' Irish immigrants into the Dutch city of New
    York. 'Tis that I've been doing night and day since I was
    erected."

Some day this old Broadway shall climb to the skies,

Some day this old Broadway shall climb to the skies,
As a ribbon of cloud on a soul-wind shall rise,
And we shall be lifted, rejoicing by night,
Till we join with the planets who choir their delight,
The signs in the streets and the signs in the skies
Shall make a new Zodiac, guiding the wise,
And Broadway make one with that marvelous stair
That is climbed by the rainbow-clad spirits of prayer.

Man has always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much...the wheel, New York, wars and so on...while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man...for precisely the same reason.

In dress, habits, manners, provincialism, routine and narrowness,
he acquired that charming insolence, that irritating
completeness, that sophisticated crassness, that overbalanced
poise that makes the Manhattan gentleman so delightfully small in
his greatness.

George Washington, with his right art upraised, sits his iron
horse at the lower corner of Union Square. . . . Should the
General raise his left hand as he has raised his right, it would
point to a quarter of the city that forms a haven for the
oppressed and suppressed of foreign lands. In the cause of
national or personal freedom they have found refuge here, and the
patriot who made it for them sits his steed, overlooking their
district, while he listens through his left ear to vaudeville
that caricatures the posterity of the proteges.
