However baby man may brag of his science and skill, and however much, in a flattering future, that science and skill may augment; yet for ever and for ever, to the crack of doom, the sea will insult and murder him, and pulverize the stateliest, stiffest frigate he can make; nevertheless, by the continual repetition of these very impressions, man has lost that sense of the full awfulness of the sea which aboriginally belongs to it. ↗

Once upon a time in the land of Shinar, God came down to see the city and the tower. People were united and spoke in one language.

Then God will come back again and make us all scattered all over the stars constellation. ↗
