BLAST
"Confusion blast all mercantile
transactions, all traffick, exchange of commodities, intercourse between
nations, all the consequent civilization and wealth and amity and link
of society, and getting rid of prejudices, and knowlege of the face of
the globe—and rot the very firs of the forest that look so romantic
alive, and die into desks. Vale."
