Tell whoever put you up to this.

That if I am to flower into something other than myself,

I would rather rot into nothingness as I am.

"Cross Streets of New York by Everett Shinn was originally an illustration for an article in Scribners with the same title. Shinn came to New York in 1897 to work as an illustrator at the New York World, and his journalistic eye took him all over Manhattan to chronicle human drama—at street level, on elevated trains, and beside riverfronts where forgotten people lived on the margins.

"A keen observer of people and sympathetic to their struggles, Shinn captured that drama with rich pops of color along a bleak and anonymous city block."
