“I live in Brooklyn. By choice. Those ignorant of its allures are entitled to wonder why. For, taken as a whole, it is an uninviting community. A veritable veldt of tawdriness . . . Yet, in the greenless grime-gray, oases do occur, splendid contradictions, hearty echoes of healthier days. Of those seeming mirages, the purest example is the neighborhood in which I am situated, an area known as Brooklyn Heights.”
