OLD CITIES.
I like a city that is worn and old, Where stones are hollowed by the prcs3 of feet. Where gables sng and open doorways hold A store of legends, where a narrow street Will twist and turn before me leisurely. And windows, stare at me like tired eyes. I know these cities and I love them well Because they seem to me *••• Like men who grow more feeble yet more wise With nothing much to do, but much to tell —Gertrudo Ryder Bennett, in the Century.
