“Gewahren wir denn wirklich den hundertsten Teil von all dem, was es gibt? Sehen Sie, der Wind, die größte Naturkraft, die Menschen umwirft, Häuser vom Boden fegt, Bäume entwurzelt, das Meer in Wasserbergen aufwühlt, Klippen und Felsen zermalmt und die mächtigsten Schiffe in die Brandung hinaus wirft, der Wind, der tötet, pfeift, stöhnt, brüllt - haben Sie den schon gesehen und können Sie ihn sehen? Und trotzdem ist er doch da.”
