There was a feeling in society that, just as the earth itself had settled down to be a habitable globe, and was forgetting its ancient ferocities of earthquake that opened up gulfs between land and land and rended sea from sea, so, too, humanity was losing those wilder energies we surmised in the cave-dweller or the hunters of mastodon, mammoth, and cave-tiger.
Running through these letters was the racking cry that had once rended our own hearts "How to get out!" As we read some of them our throats grew lumpy. "God help them," said my wife over and over again. As we read others, we felt very glad that our lives had been in some way an inspiration to them.
All the suffering and horror he had caused in all his long career was as nothing to that which then rended him.

The wild scenery of this region is varied by the great landslip which in 1799 carried about one hundred acres down towards the sea, the marks of its progress being still shown in the rended rocks and wave-like undulations of the earth.
