...rats and wild dogs roaming the streets. But when he comes to imagine the productive days of the reconstruction he can only dream vaguely of semi-subterranean cities flooded with artificial light, peopled by graceful creatures in shapely garments growing agitated over the thought of a flight around the Moon.
