Excerpt from Tantalus
Workers hurried home to supper. For him, too, an evening-meal was spreading in the place he called, per force, home, though it was so little entitled to the endearing appellation Should it be supper now? Supper or - as ever impulse was his guide. He raised his umbrella, and although the car he might have taken stopped at the nearby crossing, he set off afoot. The dash and pelt of the rain, the plash of the streaming sidewalks, were not inharmonious with his mood. If nature wept with his woe, it was the least she could do.
