“It was the sound of the god of death from one of the forgotten religions, the one that got it right, upstaging the pretenders with their billions of duped faithful.

He had come around after all this time, preening as he toured the necropolis, his kingdom risen at last.”
― Colson Whitehead, Zone One

“Men go and come, but earth abides.”
