Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”

You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and shall not fear destruction when it comes. At destruction and famine you shall laugh, and shall not fear the wild animals of the earth. For you shall be in league with the stones of the field, and the wild animals shall be at peace with you.”
