"Besi dan batu bara mendominasi di mana-mana, dari abu-abu hingga hitam: sepatu bot hitam, topi pipa hitam, pelatih atau gerbong hitam, kerangka besi hitam dari perapian, panci dan wajan dan wajan dan kompor. Apakah itu berkabung? Apakah itu warna pelindung? Apakah itu hanya depresi indra? Tidak peduli apa warna asli dari lingkungan paleotechnic mungkin itu segera berkurang karena jelaga dan abu yang menyertai kegiatannya, dengan nada karakteristiknya, abu-abu, kotor-coklat, hitam."

--- Lewis Mumford

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Iron and coal dominated everywhere, from grey to black: the black boots, the black stove-pipe hat, the black coach or carriage, the black iron frame of the hearth, the black cooking pots and pans and stoves. Was it a mourning? Was it protective coloration? Was it mere depression of the senses? No matter what the original color of the paleotechnic milieu might be it was soon reduced by reason of the soot and cinders that accompanied its activities, to its characteristic tones, grey, dirty-brown, black.
