Sunday Sentence #16

Brain Pickings, David Abrams, E.B. White, Maria Popova, Poetics of New York, Sunday Sentence, unshakable mesmerism, What Makes a City Great

mariapopova_elizabethlippman

My weekly contribution to David Abrams’ “Sunday Sentence” project in which participants share the best sentence read during the past week “out of context and without commentary.”

A great city is like a great love — it makes you feel closer to your own center, envelops you in its immutable and caring magic, and no matter how far from it you may travel, it always beckons you with steadfast, unshakable mesmerism.

SOURCE: Maria Popova article at Brain Pickings titled, What Makes a Great City: E.B. White on the Poetics of New York
