The city does not tell its past, it contains it like the lines of a hand, written in the corners of the streets, on the bars of the windows, on the handrails of the stairs, on the antennas of the lightning rods, on the flagpoles, each segment furrowed in turn by scrapes, notches, incisions, cannon shots”
