...oozy lakes-crocodiles are noxiously at home. Branded upon memory may remain a fight between two mammoth crocodiles, each some 20 feet long-savage devils, mercilessly tearing, raking, lunging, thrashing the ooze with loud slaps of mighty tails. The eyes seem to glare with sheer hate, remorseless, soulless, infernal. The defeated crocodile, mangled and dead, is not eaten until it has partially decayed and thus become more succulent to the victor. Pigmies. Suspicious of the white man, Congo Pigmies often set thin, poisoned stakes point upward in his path. He, knowing or fearing that they are always watching, perhaps with...
...modern War was ugly and soulless and the British sculptors have succeeded in portraying this. The War should have had no record at all in art. Modern art is all French.

...might have died from the same cause at any time in the last 20 years. Something froze Dzerzhinsky's soul in his youth- perhaps too early and too long imprisonment-and he became imbued with the prodigious soulless energy of a machine. While imprisoned in Poland and later in Siberia, he begged permission, lest inaction drive him mad, to empty daily all his fellow prisoners' latrines. Like a famished tiger, he thirsted for the revolutionary works of Marx, but (naturally) his gaolers were adamant on that point, though obliging in the matter of latrines...
