“…silently and all unseen, through blowing seas above the roofs.”


Chicago: City on the Make: An Homage to Nelson Algren


Excerpt from pg.75: “The pig-wallows are paved, great diesels stroke noiselessly past the clamorous tenements of home. The Constellations move, silently, and all unseen, through blowing seas above the roofs. Only the measured clatter of the empty cars, where pass the northbound and the southbound Els, comes curving down the constant boundaries of night.
