La violencia ha sido el martillo y el cincel de esta conquista, pero se llega a un punto en que ya nada puede la violencia: todo asalto despierta una avalancha, toda herida devuelve una enfermedad, todo crimen inicia una prodigiosa aniquilación, las respuestas de los dioses no se modulan con palabras comunes, y la furia de los humanos acaba por volverse contra sí misma

Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! Rage! Blow! You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout Till you have drenched our teeples, drowned the cocks! You sulphurour and thought-executing fires, Vaunt-couriers to oak-cleaving thunderbolts, Singe my white head! And thou, all-shaking thunder, Strike flat the thick rotundity o' the world! Crack nature's molds, all germens spill at once That make ingrateful man!
