Charles Beaumont Quotes
The City Had Grown, Implacably, Spreading Its Concrete And Alloy Fingers Wider Every Day Over The Dark And Feral Country. Nothing Could Stop It. Mountains Were Stamped Flat. Rivers Were Dammed Off Or Drained Or Put Elsewhere. The Marshes Were Filled. The Animals Shot From The Trees And Then The Trees Cut Down. And The Big Gray Machines Moved Forward, Gobbling Up The Jungle With Their Iron Teeth, Chewing It Clean Of Its Life And All Its Living Things.
Until It Was No More.
Leveled, Smoothed As A Highway Is Smoothed, Its Centuries Choked Beneath Millions And Millions Of Tons Of Hardened Stone.
The Birth Of A City ... It Had Become The Death Of A World.
