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.
