Such was the aspect of the Sistine Chapel when Michelangelo began his great work. Perugino's three frescoes on the west wall were afterwards demolished to make room for his Last Judgment.

A large table stood in its way and it demolished it as though it were matchwood. The interruption came so abruptly that Brent, who in his right mind had never seen the fiend and was now seeing it for the first time, was paralyzed with horror.

Groups of lightly wounded men were hobbling towards the hospital; the incessant rush of motors kept up the feverish circulation of a demolished ant-hill. As we approached the buildings, a doctor came out to meet us. "Come, come. There's work enough for a month." It was true. The effluvium and the moans of several hundreds of wounded men greeted us.
Based on assumptions that oft-repeated experience has proved to be false and misleading, civilization in the 1970's is unstable and insecure.
