May they be as plain to you who read--bonds between the Green Village of an older day and the Bohemian Village of this our own day, points that the old and the new settlements have in common--more--points that show the soul and spirit of the Village to be one and the same, unchanged in the past, unchanged in the present, probably to be unchanged for all time.

The first of these points I have already touched upon in an earlier chapter--the deathless element of romance that has always had its headquarters here.

Every city, like every brain, should have a corner given over to dreams.

Greenwich is the dream-corner of New York.

Everyone feels it.
