...Curtain comes swiftly down and stagehands swarm on to strike the study set. Flats are restacked swiftly for transfer to trucks waiting back of the stage on Seventh Avenue, ready to take them to the warehouse (there is not enough room at the Met to store all the scenery). Choristers and dancers pour out from the wings to take their places in the Kermesse set for Scene 2. Gay carnival lanterns, already lighted, are strung across the stage.

Hideously deformed beggars swarm the approaches to even the humblest...

Both bodies were surrounded by a swarm of small satellites. As the earth solidified and the oceans formed, tidal friction sent the moon moving out into space...
