Valley View Mall remembered in one form or another.

      "Here

Here, where no joy is ever sure
And tired hands dissever,
I dream of raptures which endure
   Forever.

Here, where the sunlight and the mist
Are lost in night together,
I dream of rainbows that persist
   Forever.

Here, where October leaves the plain
And passes from the river,
I dream of Aprils that remain
   Forever.

Here, where the present joins the past
And dead things rise up never,
I dream of lightnings that shall last
   Forever."

—Edgar Saltus, Poppies and Mandragora (1926)
