“Be silent in that solitude,

Which is not loneliness—for then

The spirits of the dead, who stood

In life before thee, are again

In death around thee, and their will

Shall overshadow thee; be still.”

—From “Spirits of the Dead” by Edgar Allan Poe

wear jeans and sneakers.      Jewel

NYC Some live in Mansions; Some in holes

Say this city has ten million souls,

Some are living in mansions, some are living in holes:

Yet there's no place for us, my dear,

yet there's no place for us.
