Exploring The Catcher in the Rye   :   album   :   Try Sleeping in Grand Central Station..

carrousel horse downstairs I saw some more benches in a common area downstairs in Grand Central Station, but I didn't take any pictures because they were all occupied and I didn't want to be rudely snapping pictures. There were also a few seats that looked very comfortable -- as if they were made of pillowy vinyl. One was available and I wanted a rest and to try it. I sat down and realized it was a big, hard plastic seat! It was well contoured and comfortable, but not cushioned.

I looked up again and, right in front of me, I see this! It is on a fence around an indoor café. This horse is clearly reminiscent of a carrousel horse. Wow! Holden slept here and right in front of me is a premonition of the end of the book! I snapped the picture of it right then, without even having to get up!
