1. What is the Essay about?
Literal: going into the city to buy a pencil .... exploration, travelling throughout the city
* There are contrasts between light and dark (or references to) (ex. "the hour should be evening and the season winder, for in winter the champagne brightness of the air and the sociability of the streets are greatful." and (2nd page) "How beautiful a London street is then, with its islands of light, and its long groves of darkness, and on one side of it perhaps some tree-spinkled, grassgrown space where night is folding herself to sleep naturally,")
* There seems to be a variety of small themes, which consist of:
-Sleep
- “The Eye” (what the eye sees/ seeing past the literal)
- "Army's"
- Winter
-Appreciation of life/ seeing the beauty
-Thought/ Thinking
- The over all need for protection
("smiling at the shop girls, they seemed to be disclaiming any lot ir deformity and assuring her of their protection.”) Then the concept of who are they protecting themselves from? Maybe the “army”?
