 Send "Chosen" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Order is shattered in a strange guttural tone that
resounded along the walls of the houses, which
seemed dead and deserted, while, behind the
closed shutters, eyes watched the conquerors,
who, by right of war, were now masters of the
city and of the lives and fortunes of its people.




In their darkened ruins the inhabitants have
given way to the same feeling of panic which is
aroused by natural cataclysms - those devastating
upheavals of the Earth, against which wisdom and
strength alike are of no avail. 



Though the same feeling is experienced wherever
the established order of things is upset, when
security ceases to exist, when all that was
previously protected by the laws of man and
nature is suddenly placed at the mercy of brutal,
unreasoning force. 



The earthquake, burying a whole people beneath
the ruins of their houses; the river in spate,
sweeping away the bodies of drowned peasants,
together with the carcasses of cattle and rafters
torn from roofs; and the victorious army
slaughtering all who resist, making prisoners of
the rest, looting by right of the sword, and
thanking their god to the sound of cannon. 



All these are terrifying scourges which undermine
all our belief in eternal justice and all the
trust we have been taught to place in divine
protection and human reason.
