Na Cidade, pelo contrário, cada casa repete servilmente a outra casa; todas as faces reproduzem a mesma indiferença ou a mesma inquietação; as idéias têm todas o mesmo valor, o mesmo cunho, a mesma forma, como as libras; e até o que há mais pessoal e íntimo, a Ilusão, é em todos idêntica, e todos a respiram, e todos se perdem nela como no mesmo nevoeiro... a mesmice - eis o horror das Cidades!

1901, Eça de Queirós, chapter IX, in Roy Campbell, transl., A Cidade e as Serras [The City and the Mountains]

But in the city, on the contrary, each house is a servile copy of its neighbour; all faces repeat the same indifference or the same unrest: all ideas have the same value, are of the same stamp and the same shape—like books: and even those things that are the most personal and intimate, one's illusions, are all identical; everyone shares the same illusions and breathes them, and they all fade into the same fog. Sameness! The horror of cities!
