Yevgeny Zamyatin — We [896]

And it seems as if a city has already been overthrown up above, and pieces of walls and towers are tumbling down, growing before our eyes with terrifying speed—nearer and nearer; but they will still fly through blue infinity before they drop to the very bottom, where we are. — Yevgeny Zamyatin, We, 896

Note

Evokes a grand, inverted catastrophe in the sky that serves as an objective correlative for the unseen inner storm.
