Présentation de l'éditeur
Then it crept up to the throat of the city, like a grey hand, and strangled Broad way into an ominous quietness. It tightened its grip, as the day grew older, leaving the cross-streets from Union Square to the Battery clotted with congested traffic. It brought on an untimely protest of blinking street-lamps, as uncannily bewildering as the mid-day cock-crowing of a solar eclipse. It caused the vague and shadowy walls of sky scrapers to blossom into countless yellow win dow tiers, as close-packed as the scales of a snake. Bells sounded from gloom-wrapt ship ping along the saw-tooth line of the river slips, tolling the watches and falling silent and tolling again, as they might have tolled in mid-ocean, or on some lonely waterway that led to the uttermost ends of the earth.
