Excerpt from Shadows, Vol. 18: The Creighton University Magazine, December, 1926 At once the pedestrians became different from those on the Boulevard des Italiens and in the Rue de Rivoli. They now resembled characters from books, plays and pictures. The long, tree-lined street looked quaint and full of the stuff of illusion. The lights in cafes, trams and shops glowed with seductive witchery. The shad ows were more than ordinarily weird and grotesque. Even the Hungarian artist at my side, an ordinary American citizens when I picked him up on the boat, became transformed. I marveled at all this change. What caused the sudden mutation? Had the river cast a spell over me? I believe not. We had only come into the Land of Romance. We were in the Latin Quarter of Paris.
