"Keagungan Broadway yang luas tak ada artinya di siang hari; tapi sangat gemilang di malam hari, dengan kerumunan yang berseliweran mengisi trotoar dan jalan, diam, naik, turun, di antara tepian lampu terang yang cemerlang, masing-masing gedung dijalin dan diembos dengan bohlam bercahaya, beraneka warna dari lampu pijar sinar-man. Lembah yang menyala dari bayang-bayang kehidupan. Kerumunan yang berjalan lambat melewati jalan raya Ilahi yang kinematis di New York."

--- Sean O'Casey

Versi Bahasa Inggris

The wide wonder of Broadway is disconsolate in the daytime; but gaudily glorious at night, with a milling crowd filling sidewalk and roadway, silent, going up, going down, between upstanding banks of brilliant lights, each building braided and embossed with glowing, many-coloured bulbs of man-rayed luminance. A glowing valley of the shadow of life. The strolling crowd went slowly by through the kinematically divine thoroughfare of New York.
