Peace ! This was Peace !
But Europe was merely a pleasant landscape over Hell: And Civilization seemed as a woman grown calm and mellow : As if she had forgotten, Forgotten Earth which functions not alone through the ripening fruit and the tranquillity of the grass and the contemplative mind, But also through storm, flood, fire and volcano.
