"Die Strasse schien kein Ende zu nehmen, eine breite Allee zwischen Steinmauern. Überall boten Tempel ihre steinernen Tore dar, kunstvoll gemeisselt und von einer Feinheit wie die Bayanbäume über ihnen.

Jenseits der Schutzwände standen Häuser. Was waren das für Menschen? Was für ein Leben führten sie hinter den Umfriedungen?"Hickman Powell, The Last Paradise, 1930
