It might be there that life originated the 'abysmal fecundity, Soldervetzsky called it, applying the words of other men who had written before him...."

And the word came of a strange disease that had broken out in New York. There were seventeen millions of people living then in that noblest city of America. Nobody thought anything about the news. It was only a small thing.
