Herbert de Lisser, “How Kingston Lives and Moves and has its Being,”Jamaica Times, 19 August 1899: 5

[W]hen we consider that each individual of that passing crowd is more or less,

dependent on one another, the whole matter presents a new face. We feel that

we are connected more closely than we had ever thought… we are all a chain,

that every man, woman, and child are but links of that chain.”
