The horseshoe curve
Pennell, Joseph, 1857-1926 · 1919
"'When do we get to the Horseshoe Curve; said the poker player. 'Passed it half an hour ago,' said the conductor, and so they pulled up their blind for a moment, and so did the honeymooners, and the old gent looked up from his paper, and everybody looked out save the newest of Americans who neither knew English nor the Curve, but they all pulled down their blinds and went on seeing America first through the papers— the sailor pulled down mine and I asked him as I shoved it up if he was afraid of getting his nose tanned. We hate scenery." J[oseph] P[ennell].
