Hello
How can the following paragraph' structure be? I mean separating sentences.
““ON some nights New York is as hot as Bangkok. The
whole continent seems to have moved from its place and slid nearer
the equator, the bitter gray Atlantic to have become green and tropical, and the people, thronging the streets, barbaric fellahin
among the stupendous monuments of their mystery, the lights of
which, a dazing profusion, climb upward endlessly into the heat of
the sky”
