    And the night is a-cold,
    And Thames runs chill
    ‘Twixt mead and hill.

    Is the old house here
    And my heart is warm
    Midst winter’s harm.

    The steam in hotel kitchens,
    And the smoke in hotel lobbies,
    And the slime in hotel spittoons:
    Part of my life.
    —Langston Hughes (1902–1967)
