In That Moment

         He forced himself to look ; thousands of little people and hundreds of bright little stands, and over it all the coal-smoke pall of the river factories and railroad yards. He saw in that moment the whole dim lit city on the last night of summer ; the troubled streets that lead to the abandoned beaches, the for-rent signs above overnight hotels and furnished basement rooms, moving trolleys and rising bridges ; the cagework city, beneath a coalsmoke sky.
