| 1. | War, death, cataclysm like this, America. - from Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman |
| 2. | A nocturnal rain, the wall of Hougomont, the hollow road of Ohain, Grouchy deaf to the cannon, Napoleon's guide deceiving him, Bulow's guide enlightening him,--the whole of this cataclysm is wonderfully conducted. - from Les Miserables by Victor Hugo |
