My first contact with New York happened at 2 am. Coming out of the subway at Times Square the sight of the sidewalks made me shiver. A shiver of well being.<\/h4>\n

There were not many people around but I could feel the buzz. In front of these vast deserted sidewalks, I immediately understood the power of this city.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n
Then I raised my head and realize we were surrounded by a giant forest of cement, glass and metal, some strange and dark canyons. But first there were these immense, generous\u00a0sidewalks, made for street life. Made to stroll, to go. In the flow of people that will passing over them, strangers eyes will meet, arms and shoulders will rub against each other in constant discovery.<\/h4>\n

The beauty of New York rests on a completely different base. It is unintentional. It arose independent of human design, like a stalagmitic cavern. Unintentional beauty. Beauty by mistake.<\/h5>\nMilan Kundera \u201cThe unbearable lightness of being\u201d, 1984<\/h5>\n

I didn’t know that, for the newly arrived European, there was a “New York sickness”, like sea-sickness, air-sickness and mountain-sickness.<\/h5>\nNew York is a colonial city, an outpost. All the hospitality and cruelty of Nature are present in this city, the most prodigious monument man has ever erected to himself.<\/h5>\nA wild sky over parallel rails, that more than anything else is New York.<\/h5>\nYou never lose your way in New York. But this spacial precision is not accompanied by any precision of feeling. In the numerical anonymity of the streets and avenues, I am simply anybody, anywhere. You never lose your way and you are always lost.\u00a0 And suddenly I think that New York is about to acquire a history and that it already possesses its ruins.<\/h5>\nJean Paul Sartre<\/h5>\n

<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n
The beauty of New York has to do not with its being a town, but with the fact that it transposes the town to the level of an artificial landscape, the only significant values being the rich velvety quality of the light, the sharpness of distant outlines, the awe-inspiring precipices between the skyscrapers and the somber valleys, dotted with multicolored cars looking like flowers.<\/h5>\nClaude Levi-Strauss<\/h5>\n

<\/p>\n
We enter New York harbor. A terrific sight despite or because of the mist. The order, the strength, the economic power are there. The heart trembles in front of so much admirable inhumanity.<\/h5>\nOdor of New York a perfume of iron and cement in lower Manhattan, an immense geological dig between skyscrapers which stand very close to one another; we advance, overwhelmed by a feeling of something prehistoric.<\/h5>\nManhattan. Sometimes from beyond the skyscrapers, across the hundreds of thousands of high walls, the cry of a tugboat finds you in your insomnia in the middle of the night, and you remember that this desert of iron and cement is an island.<\/h5>\nRain on New York. It flows untiringly between the high cement cubes. Bizarre feeling of remoteness. Impression of being trapped in this city, that I could escape from the monoliths that surround me and run for hours without finding anything but new cement prisons, without the hope of a hill, a real tree, or a bewildered face.<\/h5>\nAlbert Camus, American Journals, 1947<\/h5>\n

Ah, filthy New York New York,<\/h5>\nNew York of cables and death.<\/h5>\nWhat angel do you carry concealed in your cheek?<\/h5>\nWhat ineffable voice will speak the truth of the wheat?<\/h5>\nWho, the terrible dream of you tainted anemones?<\/h5>\nFederico Garc\u00eda Lorca \u201ca poet in New York\u201d, 1930<\/h5>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/a><\/h4>\n <\/p>\n
The beauty of New York rests on a completely different base. It is unintentional. It arose independent of human design, like a stalagmitic cavern. Unintentional beauty. Beauty by mistake.<\/h5>\nMilan Kundera \u201cThe unbearable lightness of being\u201d, 1984<\/h5>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00a0 <\/a><\/h4>\n <\/p>\n
I didn’t know that, for the newly arrived European, there was a “New York sickness”, like sea-sickness, air-sickness and mountain-sickness.<\/h5>\nNew York is a colonial city, an outpost. All the hospitality and cruelty of Nature are present in this city, the most prodigious monument man has ever erected to himself.<\/h5>\nA wild sky over parallel rails, that more than anything else is New York.<\/h5>\nYou never lose your way in New York. But this spacial precision is not accompanied by any precision of feeling. In the numerical anonymity of the streets and avenues, I am simply anybody, anywhere. You never lose your way and you are always lost.\u00a0 And suddenly I think that New York is about to acquire a history and that it already possesses its ruins.<\/h5>\nJean Paul Sartre<\/h5>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n
The beauty of New York has to do not with its being a town, but with the fact that it transposes the town to the level of an artificial landscape, the only significant values being the rich velvety quality of the light, the sharpness of distant outlines, the awe-inspiring precipices between the skyscrapers and the somber valleys, dotted with multicolored cars looking like flowers.<\/h5>\nClaude Levi-Strauss<\/h5>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We enter New York harbor. A terrific sight despite or because of the mist. The order, the strength, the economic power are there. The heart trembles in front of so much admirable inhumanity.<\/h5>\nOdor of New York a perfume of iron and cement in lower Manhattan, an immense geological dig between skyscrapers which stand very close to one another; we advance, overwhelmed by a feeling of something prehistoric.<\/h5>\nManhattan. Sometimes from beyond the skyscrapers, across the hundreds of thousands of high walls, the cry of a tugboat finds you in your insomnia in the middle of the night, and you remember that this desert of iron and cement is an island.<\/h5>\nRain on New York. It flows untiringly between the high cement cubes. Bizarre feeling of remoteness. Impression of being trapped in this city, that I could escape from the monoliths that surround me and run for hours without finding anything but new cement prisons, without the hope of a hill, a real tree, or a bewildered face.<\/h5>\nAlbert Camus, American Journals, 1947<\/h5>\n

New York of cables and death.<\/h5>\nWhat angel do you carry concealed in your cheek?<\/h5>\nWhat ineffable voice will speak the truth of the wheat?<\/h5>\nWho, the terrible dream of you tainted anemones?<\/h5>\nFederico Garc\u00eda Lorca \u201ca poet in New York\u201d, 1930<\/h5>\n

Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca \u201ca poet in New York\u201d, 1930<\/h5>\n
<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/a><\/h4>\n <\/p>\n
The beauty of New York rests on a completely different base. It is unintentional. It arose independent of human design, like a stalagmitic cavern. Unintentional beauty. Beauty by mistake.<\/h5>\nMilan Kundera \u201cThe unbearable lightness of being\u201d, 1984<\/h5>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00a0 <\/a><\/h4>\n <\/p>\n
I didn’t know that, for the newly arrived European, there was a “New York sickness”, like sea-sickness, air-sickness and mountain-sickness.<\/h5>\nNew York is a colonial city, an outpost. All the hospitality and cruelty of Nature are present in this city, the most prodigious monument man has ever erected to himself.<\/h5>\nA wild sky over parallel rails, that more than anything else is New York.<\/h5>\nYou never lose your way in New York. But this spacial precision is not accompanied by any precision of feeling. In the numerical anonymity of the streets and avenues, I am simply anybody, anywhere. You never lose your way and you are always lost.\u00a0 And suddenly I think that New York is about to acquire a history and that it already possesses its ruins.<\/h5>\nJean Paul Sartre<\/h5>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n
The beauty of New York has to do not with its being a town, but with the fact that it transposes the town to the level of an artificial landscape, the only significant values being the rich velvety quality of the light, the sharpness of distant outlines, the awe-inspiring precipices between the skyscrapers and the somber valleys, dotted with multicolored cars looking like flowers.<\/h5>\nClaude Levi-Strauss<\/h5>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We enter New York harbor. A terrific sight despite or because of the mist. The order, the strength, the economic power are there. The heart trembles in front of so much admirable inhumanity.<\/h5>\nOdor of New York a perfume of iron and cement in lower Manhattan, an immense geological dig between skyscrapers which stand very close to one another; we advance, overwhelmed by a feeling of something prehistoric.<\/h5>\nManhattan. Sometimes from beyond the skyscrapers, across the hundreds of thousands of high walls, the cry of a tugboat finds you in your insomnia in the middle of the night, and you remember that this desert of iron and cement is an island.<\/h5>\nRain on New York. It flows untiringly between the high cement cubes. Bizarre feeling of remoteness. Impression of being trapped in this city, that I could escape from the monoliths that surround me and run for hours without finding anything but new cement prisons, without the hope of a hill, a real tree, or a bewildered face.<\/h5>\nAlbert Camus, American Journals, 1947<\/h5>\n

<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/p>\n
The beauty of New York rests on a completely different base. It is unintentional. It arose independent of human design, like a stalagmitic cavern. Unintentional beauty. Beauty by mistake.<\/h5>\nMilan Kundera \u201cThe unbearable lightness of being\u201d, 1984<\/h5>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00a0 <\/a><\/h4>\n <\/p>\n
I didn’t know that, for the newly arrived European, there was a “New York sickness”, like sea-sickness, air-sickness and mountain-sickness.<\/h5>\nNew York is a colonial city, an outpost. All the hospitality and cruelty of Nature are present in this city, the most prodigious monument man has ever erected to himself.<\/h5>\nA wild sky over parallel rails, that more than anything else is New York.<\/h5>\nYou never lose your way in New York. But this spacial precision is not accompanied by any precision of feeling. In the numerical anonymity of the streets and avenues, I am simply anybody, anywhere. You never lose your way and you are always lost.\u00a0 And suddenly I think that New York is about to acquire a history and that it already possesses its ruins.<\/h5>\nJean Paul Sartre<\/h5>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n
The beauty of New York has to do not with its being a town, but with the fact that it transposes the town to the level of an artificial landscape, the only significant values being the rich velvety quality of the light, the sharpness of distant outlines, the awe-inspiring precipices between the skyscrapers and the somber valleys, dotted with multicolored cars looking like flowers.<\/h5>\nClaude Levi-Strauss<\/h5>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We enter New York harbor. A terrific sight despite or because of the mist. The order, the strength, the economic power are there. The heart trembles in front of so much admirable inhumanity.<\/h5>\nOdor of New York a perfume of iron and cement in lower Manhattan, an immense geological dig between skyscrapers which stand very close to one another; we advance, overwhelmed by a feeling of something prehistoric.<\/h5>\nManhattan. Sometimes from beyond the skyscrapers, across the hundreds of thousands of high walls, the cry of a tugboat finds you in your insomnia in the middle of the night, and you remember that this desert of iron and cement is an island.<\/h5>\nRain on New York. It flows untiringly between the high cement cubes. Bizarre feeling of remoteness. Impression of being trapped in this city, that I could escape from the monoliths that surround me and run for hours without finding anything but new cement prisons, without the hope of a hill, a real tree, or a bewildered face.<\/h5>\nAlbert Camus, American Journals, 1947<\/h5>\n
