Maybe a population dies like an individual? Ouch to the sad doubt that the skepticism with the mannerism of a prostitute presents itself temptingly to us! | Maybe a population dies like an individual?

No, no; it cannot be that the Creator condemns us to a life of tests, to lead us to nothing! Inorganic nature goes through transformation, but nothing of her is lost. A vegetable in the teeth of a four-legged animal loses its life to assimilate into the animal's body. The animal, underneath the knife of its butcher, passes onto a better life in its assimilation into the human body. And man, only man will be lost? No, everything is transformation, is metempsychosis; the vegetable dies to become an animal; the animal dies to become a man, and the man dies to become God. | |||

Where the sun scorches the arid sands and the marbled mountains, in inner Africa where the curious European has still not been able to relegate himself; the clouds that are continuously pushed by southern winds, broken up by the tall summits of the equatorial mountains, in some parts of the year pour out streams, bodies of waters. These form immense lakes that constrict and expand based on the occurrences in this huge plot of land. As vast seas, they offer an extraordinary view; as narrow canals, only the small-minded, petty person goes. | |||
These waters, infinitely accumulating over centuries, finished by opening into a path among the mountains on a lower plot of land, that is, closer to the sea, and from these mountaintops, like from a tall flood-gate, they pour out in the large, bottomless reservoir. In this remote era, the sea wet the slopes of the mountains, those of which today support and protect the new valley that APPELLOSSI Egypt. And on this area, a country was created that is so fertile; so rich in products and monuments; where dolphins dance and predict storms; and instead of air and men, there was only water and fish. | |||
