i first experienced the place in the mid 50's, on a summer stay in nyc
that was hardly voluntary...another story, as they say...at any rate,
it was the most beautiful environment i had ever experienced. i say
"experienced" because one didn't just see it--it had a wonderful odor,
and the tactile pleasures were endless. and the awesome silence of
the place... the carpets, the soft spoken sales staff, all of whom
appeared to a boy from rowan county, nc, to be the lords of london,
all in a single spot...

it was a dream come true. i bought their yearly catalogue for decades
afterwards, just to dream me up a place i had loved.
