Excerpt from The Wingless Hour
In Gaza! Of all places on earth, Gaza! Once the scene Of his mightiest triumphs in the days Of his strength, now the scene Of his deepest degrada tion! What a tragedy! What infinite irony! He who once tore away the gates of this city and carried them away with a shout to the tops Of the hills, now grinds Philistine corn as a slave in its prison. The strength that should have been used in the service Of God, be ing wasted, is now put to the labor Of a beast too late does Samson realize that he played the fool and in himself received the reward Of a fool.

Excerpt from The Wingless Hour
But do the eyes Of the basilisk ever wink? Does the charm Of the serpent ever loosen its grip On the quivering bird? Stealthily, but persistently and surely, the filmy tentacles Of the octopus, as Victor Hugo pictures for us in The Toilers of the Sea, reach out for the neck and arms of the unthinking fisher man till suddenly the mighty muscles Of the frightful thing are wrapped around the shrieking victim as he is dragged down into the oozy depths Of ocean, where he is not so much devoured as he is absorbed into the belly Of the monster.
