“Wonderful Force of Public Opinion!

I have as healthy flesh and blood as any rhymers had,
But O! my Heart could bear no more when the upland caught the wind;
I ran, I ran, from my loves side because my Heart went mad.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“The skyscraper establishes the block, the block creates the street, the street offers itself to man.”
