Landscapes of the Sacred

Landscapes of the Sacred

Page 208

“Above all, the smell from the tenements, coming up from basements and areaways, from dank halls, horrified me.”


This quote reminds me of my Uncle’s apartment complex, which was very old and believed to be haunted. From what I remember it was always very foggy when I would go to visit and that always made me very scared. There was such a dampness to the air, not to mention the graveyard two blocks over. The picture on page 209 looks very similar to my Uncles apartment, he too had a basketball hoop above his neighbor’s door. This quote made me reflect on this part in my life where I was afraid but also joyful seeing my Uncle.
