E.B White

In "Here is New York," E. B. White identifies three New Yorks: the city of the people born here; that of the commuter; and--"the greatest"--that of the person born somewhere else who comes here "in quest of something."

I think there is a fourth New York, mine: that of someone who grew up in the city, moved away for a long time, and then--finally!-- moves back.
