A city of marble.

Above is your theme: A city of marble. What i ask you to do with this theme is tell me your choice(s) of:

• a tale about a city of marble.
• your concepts of a city of marble.
• what the phrase a city of marble makes you think and/or feel.
• how a city of marble appears in your head, now that the concept is there.
• who inhabits a city of marble? How are they? What do they do?
• Anything else that pleases you on that theme/leitmotif.

You have your charge. Please to respond. Anonymous is ok, but i'd really like to know who sent what. Email me if you'd rather not have your ID known; i'll post your submission as a comment, unless you did so anonymously already. Only anonymous posts will be screened, so again, email if you want privacy.

I thank you each in advance. This is half of a theme that i've been working with for years, and finally feel ready to move on with. I have very specific concepts, and for that matter, a very specific city, in mind, but i want to see what the world at large has to say on the theme before i move forward more. A sequel to this post may be coming soon. Thank you.

I imagined a city of monuments, like the Lincoln, Jefferson and Washington monuments. Lots of trees and greenways, much like the Mall in DC, though think Logan's Run - run down with lots of overgroth. The people would all be old and simple folk, a society on the downslide to oblivion.

I personaly love marble. Especialy the pink and green varieties. The thought of a marble house apeals to me. And if its a Victorian, all the better. It would be expensive to build, but worth the effort. :)
