Excerpt from The World Does Move
The thin young man Who had come East to seek his fortune stood upon the steamer's forward deck with the sea breeze blowing upon his eager face and hastening the combustion of the Sweet Caporal cigarette he had just lighted at the spark of its predecessor. Before him the immense castellated sky line that amazed the World swam to meet him as the steamer rushed toward it over the at Water; and, stirred by the wonder of this great sight, he exultantly Whispered to himself, New York! New York! New York!
