“[London is] like the sight of a heavy sea from a rowing boat in the middle of the Atlantic.... One lives in it, afloat but half submerged in a heavy flood of brick, stone, asphalt, slate, steel, glass, concrete, and tarmac, seeing nothing fixable beyond a few score white spires that splash up like spits of foam above the next glum wave of dirty buildings.” NextWhiteHalfSeeingSeaMiddleBuildingStonesSightGlassesWaveHeavyLondonBoatDirtyScoreConcreteFloodSteelBricksSpitRowingSlateFoamSubmergedSpiresAsphalt Book:Mr. Beluncle: A Novel Source: Mr. Beluncle: A Novel

“One of my favorite places is the Maldives, an all-Muslim nation in the Indian Ocean with a culture that stretches back 5,000 years. But since the highest point in the archipelago is a meter or two above sea level, even the next hundred are not guaranteed.
