the windows and mirrors have shattered, the houses and towers have collapsed, the bridges have been washed out in floods, the cities have been consumed in fires, the inhabitants of the earth have been awakened from their slumber, the beasts of the field have come out of their stupor, the fish churn the sea all mad, the cockroaches and rats have formed armies, we have forgotten how to speak, we have forgotten how to wear our clothes and eat our meals, we run crazy through the roadways and deserts and forests, we stuff small animals whole into our mouths, for the last mile has been trodden, the final hour has passed, and we cannot be anything but wild in the end,
