“The thinnest tendrils of dawn are creeping in from the east. People in New York are softly starting to tweet.”
“Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today. I want to be a part of it. New York... New York..." New York, New York - Fred Ebb/John Kander”
“Forgot to live-tweet the election last night, so I'm post-tweeting today. I'll start as soon as my fingers unclench from their rage fists.”
“Perhaps the new dawn will come from this horizon, from the East where the sun rises; and then, unvanquished Man will retrace his path of conquest, despite all barriers, to win back his lost heritage. ”
“At six a.m., I reach New York. In the east, sky-crapers rise, more awesome than the sun itself.”
“When I write, I aim in my mind not toward New York but toward a vague spot a little to the east of Kansas.”
