City to the West might be any of many? Perhaps Pittsburgh (at
confluence of rivers though a tad north of the extended Line) or
Chicago (on an inland Sea). Prosperous cities, "sacred" in their
consecration to the Market, where all are "at hazard as deep as their
souls may bear". Inland cities, embodiments of an "Indiference to
Pain", as Mason notes, untempered by intercourse with a wider world.
