Excerpt from The Needle's Eye
Silently as spins the earth around the sun, so spins the world Of Wall Street about the banking house of Graham Co. Through its brazen doors one steps directly from the clatter and crash of Broadway into a region of supernal calm. As in a vacuum one stands behind its plate-glass windows and watches the sound less crowds go hurrying by like figures on the mirror of a camera obscura. The repose and dignity of the gods are here.
