Tracking the Beats in Ciudad de México at this fountain with pool and graceful lines. Empty and divine in its tranquil setting, even now inspiring notions of the sublime.

"Left to right: Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Peter Orlovksy, Gregory Corso and Lafcadio Orlovsky - Mexico City's Alameda Park, in front of the Neptune Fountain, about which the article quotes Kerouac from Tristessa "a magnificent fountain and pool in a green part at a round O-turn in residential splendid shape of stone and glass and old grills and scrolly worly lovely majesties." (from the Allen Ginsberg Project)
