1132. GARGANTUA

GARGANTUA
Embroiled are the lights of Sydney,
massive are the flames of Koche. The
frogmen sit around, talking of Melbourne
Harbor, or the swift currents along the
Adelaide Breach. Of a sudden, behind
them, rises up the great monster, roaring
like a fountain full-flowing, tearing down
all beaches and walls. Ancient foundations
crumbling, structures of 600 years fall
away. Like Galileo, Newton, Einstein and
Godel, it has effected a great certain
change in the sky. 'Let us cancel all
knowledge now,' says the lanky fireman,
'for this has now altered all things.'
