We were young together, but there, I am sorry to say, the parallel ends.
Aurora and Tithonus were young together; but the one grew old and gray, while the other flourished in immortal beauty and youth. In the days when Chicago and I were both young, it was my lot to see a good deal of the outside world, and it was always a pleasure to me, in viewing what was most interesting and pic- turesque in decaying civilizations to think, by way of contrast, of the brilliant and vigorous municipality that... was swiftly taking shape on the shores of Lake Michigan, unlike anything hitherto seen. I talked about it as young men 194 COMMERCIAL CLUB DINNER will about things that interest them, and was sometimes goodnaturedly rallied on my vehe- ment claims and large prophecies. But when- ever I come here I see how far beyond the pos- sibilities of brag are the simple facts of your marvelous growth. The boasting of the trav- eling man, the prophetic raptures of poets are alike inadequate. Chicago speaks for herself, in a language of her own, a language the world must learn to interpret, for Chicago is a fact in which the world is concerned.
