A lovely piece on The Big Apple by historian Jan Morris: "All cities mutate over the course of history, but during my watch the two greatest examples of civic vitality — Venice and New York — have remained essentially the same at the core. Both are water cities... and the architectures of both have been decreed by their insularity. Both are great ports and gateways between civilizations. Venice is habitually characterized as timeless, and New York too, the Never Finished City, strikes me as essentially permanent."
