Cornell Woolrich Quotes

The Old Frame House Down Near The Waterfront Had Never Held So Many People Since The Day It Was Put Up. It Must Have Been A Pleasant Place Fifty Years Before: Trees Overhanging The Limpid Water, Cows Grazing In The Meadows On Both Sides Of The River, Little Frame Houses Like This One Dotting The Banks Here And There.
It Wasn't A Pleasant Place Any More: Garbage Scows, Coal Yards, The River A Greasy Gray Soup. Dead-end Blocks Of Decrepit Tenements On One Side Of It, Lumberyards And Ice-plants And Tall Stacks On The Other.
The House Was Set Far Back From The Street, Hemmed In By The Blank Walls That Rose Around It.
("I Wouldn't Be In Your Shoes")
