“Sensing “the whole world, as it were, placed within the
grasp of the Evil One,” and waiting for death to visit him
too, he wrote, “I leave parchment to continue this work, if
perchance any man survive and any of the race of Adam
escape this pestilence and carry on the work which I have
begun.” Brother John, as noted by another hand, died of the
pestilence, but he foiled oblivion.”

“On moonlight nights the long, straight street and dirty white walls, nowhere darkened by the shadow of a tree, their peace untroubled by footsteps or a dog's bark, glimmered in the pale recession. The silent city was no more than an assemblage of huge, inert cubes, between which only the mute effigies of great men, carapaced in bronze, with their blank stone or metal faces, conjured up a sorry semblance of what the man had been. In lifeless squares and avenues these tawdry idols lorded it under the lowering sky; stolid monsters that might have personified the rule of immobility imposed on us, or, anyhow, its final aspect, that of a defunct city in which plague, stone, and darkness had effectively silenced every voice.”
