Night never met a town it couldn't blacken until it met New York CityFrom the International Dateline on its way east across the continent, the evening of March 4th had encountered many an easily flattened village of sleepy farmers and suburbanites, batting uselessly at its ebony back with candles, flashlights and bonfires, all sent effortlessly to dreamlandBut New York, ah, there the night had met its match! For the city seemed to be lit from the inside, a billion candelas and pinpricks of luminous incandescence wrapping the whole of five boroughs in a protective web of energyThe electric symphony from shopkeepers' windows hit the river with the intensity of ten thousand full moons and bounced, bounced, bounced, all the way to the windowsill of high-spirited children craning their necks through the curtain for a glimpse across the great suspended passageways that connected the cityHow could they sleep, however sternly their parents demanded it?
