DEDICATION TO San Francisco, our city, Whose hills make strange perspectives Bringing us startling views. Showing us height and depth, Giving us vision, Whose soft gray fogs and biting winds Whose brilliant sparkling bay and shifting clouds Whose changing moods and endless variations Are part of all our lives, We dedicate this book—our Journal. 5

CONTRASTS MY city stands facing the east, Facing that east where life sinks to decay. Strong, vigorous, huge, and confident, it stands. My city is built on hills overlooking the water; It is covered with fogs and with mists, But always the skyscrapers look proudly towards the east, And the clouds drift lazily on. There in the east are crumbling palaces of gilt. There in the east are gorgeous mystery and long past glories, But the stench of age and fetiches of years Are eating at the very heart of things. Look at the brave defiance of my brilliant city Sparkling in the sun. See how it laughs at centuries of wisdom and of age. In freshness and in strength surpassing all— Magnificently young and bold. All Hail My City! 7
