Joseph Pennell - The marble hall : Pennsylvania Station, New York

"Wares der train go frum?” he asks and as he stops bewildered at the portal, never a “please” never a “thank you” when I sometimes tell him. We have no time to be polite any more, we are not even taught to be. But overpowered by the marble and the murals he overlooks the door which leads to the Hall of Iron." J[oseph] P[ennell].
