DRAMA OF NOONDAY SUN

 

THE PIGEONS SANG, LIKE ARIADNE SORROWING . . . — THE SUN, FRIENDS, BLACK, AND THE LONG SHADOWS RUN DRAMAS OVER THE CITY. I SAW THE BEAUTIFUL, TRAGIC, TERRIBLE HOUSES; DEFEATED, EXHAUSTED, BEREFT OF LOVE AND OF HATRED, STRIPPED OF ALL NOSTALGIA, TRANQUIL, BOTH VIOLENCE AND PASSION OVERCOME, LYING AT PEACE, CALM LIKE ARIADNE SLEEPING . . .
