  1. above the cricket, towers that seemed like mountains of light rose up into the night sky. Even this late the neon signs were still blazing. Reds, blues, greens and yellows flashed down on him. And the air was full of the roar of the traffic and the hum of the human beings. It was as if Times Square was some sort of shell, with colors and noises breaking in great waves inside it.
    p.32 paragraph 2
