Notably: Someone in a comment on this site recently included the link to the video below, of a San Francisco street in 1906, just before the great earthquake. The video has been remastered and colorized, with artificial sound (its least believable addition), which may diminish its authenticity to some extent, but also make it easier to watch and focus on the details, which provide an unusually rich look at city life at the turn of the previous century. A few striking elements, at least from the perspective of our hyper-safety-conscious 21st century: the obvious lack of traffic lights, of striping of any kind, of any demarcations between pedestrian and vehicular traffic, the curious comingling of the era’s horse-drawn and motor-drawn vehicles, the odd uniformity of elegance and–hard to believe–cleanliness: how can there be no horse dung anywhere, no horse-dung cleaners, who were a notorious part of the cityscape back then (as were the occasional expirations of horses)? The video is a bit too absorbing for the workday, so I imagine it’ll get quite a few views.

I let myself go knowing
that all these detours are not in vain.
When we don’t know where we’re going,
all roads are worth the way.

(Je me laisse aller sachant
que ces détours ne sont pas vains.
Quand on ne connaît pas le lieu où l’on va
tous les chemins sont bons.)

–From Dany Laferriere’s The Enigma of Return (L’Enigme du retour, 2011) .
