The capitol grows upon one in time, especially as they have got the great figure on top of it now, and you can see it very well. It is a great bronze figure, the Genius of Liberty I suppose. It looks wonderful toward sundown. I love to go and look at it. The sun when it is nearly down shines on the headpiece and it dazzles and glistens like a big star: it looks quite
curious. . .

Wow, Reya. You and Walt.
I didn't find that quote - a friend passed it along I'm honored to share WW's experience.
It is curious!
What?! Walt Whitman witnessed and described your exact experience?! That is AMAZING. I love it!
It's cool, isn't it?
