Mannahatta
City of hurried and sparkling waters! city of spires and masts!
City nested in bays! my city!
New York City
The down-town streets,
the jobbers' houses of business, the houses of business of the ship-merchants and money-brokers, the river-streets,
Immigrants arriving
fifteen or twenty thousand in a week,
high growths of iron,
slender, strong, light, splendidly uprising toward clear skies,
Trottoirs throng'd, vehicles, Broadway
the women, the shops and shows,
The winter snows,
the broken ice in the river, passing along up or down with the flood-tide or ebb-tide,
A million people
—manners free and superb—open voices—hospitality—the most courageous and friendly young men,
Federal Outpost
