Quant says:
My shoulders shiver. A shadow chills me
As thunderheads threaten the sun.
Malin says:
Righteous wrath is raising its hands
To strike and destroy.

Emble says:
Storm invades
The Euclidean calm. The clouds explode.
The scene dissolves, is succeeded by
A grinning gap, a growth of nothing
Pervaded by vagueness.
Rosetta says:
Violent winds
Tear us apart. Terror scatters us
To the four coigns. Faintly our sounds
Echo each other, unrelated
Groans of grief at a great distance.
Quant says:
In the wild West they are whipping each other.

In the hungry East they are eating their books.
Rosetta says:
In the numb North there are no more cradles.
Malin says:
The sullen South has been set on fire.
