844. The city also appeared to me. The buildings are tall, sometimes with dark streets because of the tall buildings, nevertheless such that the whole length of the streets appears, and the sky shines through, showing the city's skyline, as in other large cities. Presently, when one could just make out its streets, then the closed in city appeared, and an unbroken line of very high buildings was displayed to me, the roofs of which I did not see, perhaps because they ended in the clouds. They had many windows, covering a square area on two sides. The color of the buildings on the outside was almost brick-like, or dark brownish.
