I am twenty-two blocks from where Rudolph Valentino lay in state,eight blocks from where Nathan Hale was executed,five blocks from the publisher's office where Ernest Hemingway hit Max Eastman on the nose, four miles from where Walt Whitman sat sweating out editorials for the Brooklyn Eagle , thirty-four blocks from the street Willa Cather lived in when she came to New York to write books about Nebraska, one block from where Marceline used to clown on the boards of the Hippodrome, thirty-six blocks from the spot where the historian Joe Gould kicked a radio to pieces in full view of the public, thirteen blocks from where Harry Thaw shot Stanford White, five blocks from where I used to usher at the Metropolitan Opera and only 112 blocks from the spot where Clarence Day the elder was washed of his sins in the Church of the Epiphany (I could continue this list indefinitely); and for that matter I am probably occupying the very room that any number of exalted and somewise memorable characters sat in, some of them on hot, breathless afternoons, lonely and private and full of their own sense of emanations from without..

二十二个街区远的地方，鲁道夫·瓦伦蒂诺在安眠；八个街区远的地方，内森·黑尔被绞死；五个街区远的地方，是出版人办公室，欧内斯特·海明威在那里挥拳击中了马克斯·伊斯门的鼻子；四英里远的地方，沃尔特。惠特曼曾挥汗如雨为《布鲁克林之鹰》写社论；三十四个街区以外，是威拉。卡瑟初到纽约的旧居，她当时正准备写作有关内布拉斯加州的著作；一个街区远的街道，马士莱在竞技场舞台上扮演过小丑；三十六个街区以外，历史学家乔。古尔德在众目睽睽之下踢碎了一台收音机；十三个街区以外，哈里。肖拔枪射击斯坦福。怀特；五个街区以外，是我过去做带位员的大都市剧场；而距离老克拉伦斯。戴举行葬礼的主显节教堂，仅有一百一十二个街区（我不确定还能再想起点儿什么）。就此而言，我正置身其中的房间，或许曾经呆过一些高贵而令人难忘的大人物，他们中一些人，在闷热的下午，坐在这里，孤独而隐秘，发散出异于外界的特有气息。
