ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews some words from poet Wordsworth, Philosopher Carlyle and the Constable Shakespeare about the city at night. Carlyle explains that 'it is a true sublimity to dwell in Coffee-house'. Because of these fringes of lamplight, struggling up through smoke and thousand fold exhalation, some fathoms into the ancient reign of Night. And it includes: what thinks Boötes of them, as he leads his Hunting-Dogs over the Zenith in their leash of sidereal fire. Carlyle also explores the joy and the sorrow in Coffee-house that; men are dying there, men are being born; men are praying, on the other side of a brick partition, men are cursing; and around them all is the vast, void Night. Shakespeare discusses the scene 'Enter Dogberry and Verges with the Watch' from his stories. This scene explains the conversation between the dogberry, verges, first watch and second Watch.
