NYC - Midtown: Library Way - The Mind is an Enchanting Thing
is an enchanted thing
like the glaze on a
kaydid-wing
subdivided by sun
till the nettings are legion
- Marianne Moore (1887-1972), "The Mind is an Enchanting Thing"
Library Way stretches from Fifth Avenue to Park Avenue along East 41st Street, creating a promenade to the New York Public Library Humanities and Social Sciences Library. The project was initiated by the Grand Central Partnership (GCP), who in conjunction with the New York Public Library (NYPL) and New Yorker Magazine, convened a panel of literary experts in 1996 to select quotations from prominent works of literature. The quotes were then brought to life by artist Gregg LeFevre in ronze plaques installed in regular intervals in the sidewalks.
