Fantastic pictures of New York City with poems

This book has views of the city which are available to every New Yorker who's interested in viewing. New York: the grand, the magnificent-with its architecture, vitality and sweep of its harbor.. Also New York: personal, the friendly, the peaceful...another town, another place that has been with us all along. A new set of views of the city seemed to spring out of the old ones. And therefore, working together: the camera, the eyes, the mind and the mood-these elements brought new sites and the general serenity that was as great walking down a path by the Hudson, for example, as one might expect from a stroll in Vermont. This book contains writings or poems to accompany the pictures. Some of the authors of these works are as follows: Walt Whitman, Henry James, Hart Crane, Charles Dickens, Herman Melville, EB White, Thomas Wolfe, Stephen Crane, Carl Sandburg, Oliver Wendell Holmes, W. H. Auden, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Ogden Nash are among many others
