ARTISTIC TAILORS THE VERY LATEST DESIGNS IN “MADE TO ORDER” CLOTHING. MARKET
AND JACKSON STREETS, CHICAGO, ILL. REPRESENTED BY ____ A REALIZATION OF THE
HEIGHT, DEPTH AND DISTANCE, IN OTHER WORDS, ”THE PERSPECTIVE,” IS ALMOST AN
IMPOSSIBLE IMPRESSION UPON THE MIND, AS A RESULT OF SEEING PICTURES OF SUCH
WONDERS AS THE GRAND CANYON OF THE YELLOWSTONE. THOSE UNACCUSTOMED TO SIGHTS SO DEEP, SO
HIGH, SO FAR, SO BEAUTIFUL, YET SO AWFUL, CAN HARDLY BELIEVE THAT THE
PICTURE HERE REPRESENTED ATTEMPTS TO PORTRAY A CHASM FIVE TIMES AS DEEP AS
THE HEIGHT OF WASHINGTON MONUMENT, WHERE THE ROARING TORRENT RIVER AT THE
BOTTOM IS SO FAR AWAY NOT A RIPPLE CAN BE HEARD; WHERE ONE TOWER OF ROCK
AFTER ANOTHER SEEMS IN STRIFE TO EXCEL, NOT ONLY IN SIZE AND HEIGHT, BUT IN
COLOR AS WELL. SURELY THE WALLS OF THE NEW JERUSALEM MUST HAVE BEEN QUARRIED
HERE; ALL TWELVE OF THE SACRED STONES OF THE REVELATION ARE HERE AND SIDE BY
SIDE, AND AS THE NOON-DAY SUNBEAMS DANCE BETWEEN THEIR GLISTENING SIDES ONE
ALMOST IMAGINES THIS TO BE THE GATEWAY TO HEAVEN; AND WHILE IN WONDER, LOST
W/ALL THE DAZZLING BEAUTY, AMID SUCH DIZZY HEIGHTS AND DEPTHS, THE EYE IS
DRAWN, AS IF BY A MAGNET, TO THE GREAT WATERFALL A FEW MILES IN THE
DISTANCE, WHITE W/CRYSTAL SPRAY MADE GLORIOUS BY A THOUSAND RAINBOWS. COULD
IT BE THE “GREAT WHITE THRONE?” WORDS ARE TOO FEEBLE TO EXPRESS ONE’S
FEELINGS WHEN SIGHTS LIKE THIS ARE REVEALED.Create Date
