Here Is New York

E. B. White shares his vision of New York City, a world of contrasts. My favorite image from this short book is that he describes in the last paragraph of the book is that of an old willow tree growing in an interior garden. He says it “symbolizes the city: life under difficulties, growth against odds, sap-rise in the midst of concrete, and the steady reaching for the sun.” As always with E. B. White, lovely writing.
