Nothin' Seems Right
Check this strange beverage that falls out from the sky
Splashin Bagdad on the Hudson in panther Martin's eyes
He's high and outside wearin' candy apple red
Scarlett gave him twenty-seven stitches in his head
With a pint of green Chartreuse nothin' seems right
You buy the Sunday paper on a Saturday night

Like Woven Dust
Lundy's place had the appearance of something projected through old film onto a cracked screen. It was large and it had a high ceiling and the furnishings had no color, no gloss, no definite shape. The wood of the bar and the tables was splintered and gray with time, and the floor had a mossy texture, like woven dust.

By It's Nature
By it's nature, the metropolis provides what otherwise could be given only by travelling ; namely the strange.

Silent Victories
Melvillean suspense suspends ordinary details and trappings, leaving only a few esoteric symbols and a collection of rarefied settings cleared for combat, tests of skill and silent victories.
