"The matter? Look at those quaking walls! look at those shivering rocks. Don't you feel the burning heat? Don't you see how the water boils and bubbles? Are you blind to the dense vapours and steam growing thicker and denser every minute? See this agitated compass needle. It is an earthquake that is threatening us."
Hogy mi bajom? Nézze meg ezeket az ingó falakat, a meglazuló kőtömböket, a hőséget, a bugyborékoló vizet, a sűrűsödő gőzöket, ezt a megkergült tűt; a földrengés ezer jelét!
