"Well, I daresay the time's at hand, eh. Saw the privies, too, eh, in the town. When we got there, that is. All smoothed, smoothed out, eh, smart as can be. Made like a tavern. And for no purpose. All for no purpose. Oh, we've forgotten God. Forgotten, eh. Forgotten, forgotten God, we have, God".

Leo Tolstoy  
The Power of Darkness,  
or "If a Claw Is Caught, the Whole Bird Is Lost"
