No appeal to pity, to beauty, the distinguished mind that conceived this opening said simply, this is it, this is us, no glory, no pathos, no glamour. Just a long, Freudian, tunnel-like, dark street. Nothing within sight, nothing to drream of or ponder on but…. The butcher’s shop with its attendant, terrible, waiting line of frenzied women.
