"The neighbourhood around Wall Street has been the commercial center of New York City since colonial times.  Before moving inside, brokers gathered outdoors to trade goods and stocks at various markets.  The American Stock Exchange, one of many exchange places in the area, moved to an indoor space only in 1921.  Until then, as Joseph Petrocelli captured in this image, brokers challenged bad weather at the curbside market on Broad Street, shouting and gesticulating in order to communicate their transactions."

from Time is a Ripple's Ring

In the dark well below the mind
A thousand score of days lie drowned,
Their fragile bodies intertwined,
Their drifting hair unbound . . . 

– Marjorie Allen Seiffert (1942)
