"Your city is so small that thirty strides will take you all the way around it. To be always in the sunshine, you need only walk along rather slowly. When you want to rest, you will walk-- and the day will last as long as you live."


"The thing that is so good about the box you have given me is that at night he can use it as his house." -- Little Prince, Exupery.

What's a nice building like that doing at Flora Fountain?

"Bright was the day, and blew the firmament;
Phebus hath of gold her stremes doun ysent
To gladen every chyld with her warmnesse."

- - Chaucer in "Merchant's Prologue"

Translated:
Bright was the day, and blue the firmament;
Phoebus has her streams of gold down sent
To gladden every child with her warmness.


"Of aventure happed hire to meete
Amydde the toun, right in the quykkest strete,
And oon have I in remembraunce,

- Chaucer,

Trans:
"By chance happened to meet her
Amidst the town, right in the busiest street,
and one I have in rememberance"

Fountain is not crowded at 3:30pm


" You shall also make no noise in
the streets; for, for the watch to babble and to
talk is most tolerable and not to be endured."

- Dogberry, Much Ado, Shakespeare.


"Today we'll wander through the streets and note
The qualities of people." Mark Antony, Shakespeare.


"Build Dadabhai's statue to make him glorious:
But tidings to the contrary, are brought your eyes;
what need speak I of books and brookes
and people and pipal trees at bus stops?"
- Pericles, Shakespeare.


Bombay Stock Exchange as seen from Fountain.

"What need a man care for a stock with a bench, when
she can knit him a stock?"
-- Launce in Two Gentlemen of Verona, Shakespeare.
