Little did lord Herbert dream of the age he was initiating of the irreverence and pride and destruction that were about to follow in his footsteps, wasting, defiling, scarring, obliterating, turning beauty into ashes, and worse! That divine mechanics should thus, through selfishness and avarice, be leagued with filth and squalor and ugliness!
A mile or so to the north it has broken down and scattered seaward a great section of the cliff, scarring the water with a hundred jagged menaces to navigation, and leaving behind it a torn sea front and a wide, uneven beach. About three miles to the south of the little, hidden village it has wrought similar havoc, long forgotten ages ago.
There was where the brunt of Bat Truxton's responsibility lay. To his left, still several miles away, was Valley City. He swung his horse toward the camp, which as yet was scarcely more than a man's dream of a town, and rode on at a swift gallop. Now more than ever he saw what some of the difficulties were in front of the handful of men scarring the breast of this Western Sahara.
He wasn't ashamed of his fear Hovan and other n'Cor'naya had told him that nobody went into the Scarring unafraid but he did wish he'd been spared the physical symptoms. His mouth was dry, his palms were wet, and sweat was beginning to trickle down his ribs. Finally, the doors opened to admit them.

I cannot you of one of them tell, because it would by foreknowledge influenced be." Tarlac could understand that, though it didn't quiet his curiosity. "At least I know more about it now than I did when I agreed to take it." "The Fleet-Captain you nothing told?" "Oh, sure.
At long intervals rockets rose from the opposite rim of the great circular ridge around the City, scarring the deep, inky vault about us with lines of fire. They ascended to an enormous distance. Almost instantly these were apparently answered by similar rockets in other colors from the hill I stood on. "There was a sudden movement about me. The pilot had returned. With him came the messenger.
Finsen, sitting there with the seventy-five-year-old report from over the sea in his hand, it burst with a flood of light: the patients got well without scarring because they were in the dark. Red light or darkness, it was all the same. The point was that the chemical rays that could cause sunburn on men climbing glaciers, and had power to irritate the sick skin, were barred out.
What is life but a scarring? It's you you who don't understand! Of course we are covered with scars, we live to be scarred, we are scars! We are the scars of the past!
