Nights in Town by Thomas Burke, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Excerpt from Nights in Town: A London Autobiography Moreover, London wears always new beauties for the faithful - new aspects, sudden revelations. What was beautiful yesterday is gone, and a new splendour is presented. Building operations are begun here, house breaking is in progress there, the gaunt scaffolding making its own beauty against the night sky Always, throughout the seasons, her townscapes are there to cheer, to entrance, to satisfy. At dawn or noon or dusk she stands superb; but perhaps most superb when the day is done, and her lights, the amazing whites and yellows and golds, blossom on every hand in their tangled garden, and her lovers cluster thick and thicker to worship atlher shrine and spend a night in town.
