Its pouring in Queens. To the right, a boulder. To the left- a vast apartment house. Clustered around my signature (at center) are a tiny bunch of crystalline snowflakes.

"If I were Emperor and King of some powerful state
(a thing which I could not wish to be and could not be in any case)
I should, in view of the fact that big cities owe their birth to
Laziness, Greed, Fear, Lust and other evil passions, promulgate
a law determining as precisely as possible the amount of soil
that must without exception surround every house, in accord
with its size, and with the number of human creatures that inhabit it.
In this way, Air and Sun, those two essential principles of Life,
would be widely distributed everywhere. That law, source of all
material and consequently of all moral well-being, would be called
the SOLAR LAW.
The bed of our cities is in many cases a piece of furniture
that serves the purposes of laziness and lust"
(we now see two etched plates each showing a cruciform perpendicular box
in which a man and a woman respectively sleep secured in a standing position)
"Man and woman ought to spend the night standing,
chest expanded and arms spread wide.
This is the way in which the heroic maiden of Orleans, Deguesclin,
or Bayard the Preux Chevalier would have slept.
People should turn their faces toward the east so that the first light of dawn
strikes them.
This law, a potent source of strength and purity, would be called
The LUNAR LAW."
