    “New York is more now than the sum of its people and buildings. It makes sense only as a mechanical intelligence, a transporter system for the daily absorbing and nightly redeploying of the human multitudes whose services it requires.”
    —Peter Conrad (b. 1948)

    “The acorn’s not yet
    Fallen from the tree
    That’s to grow the wood,
    That’s to make the cradle,
    That’s to rock the bairn,
    That’s to grow a man,
    That’s to lay me.”
    —Unknown. The Cauld Lad of Hilton or, The Wandering Spectre (l. 2–8)
