    "only poetry or madness could do justice to the noises heard by 
    legrasse's men as they ploughed on through the black morass toward the 
    red glare and the muffled tom-toms. there are vocal qualities peculiar to 
    men, and vocal qualities peculiar to beasts; and it's terrible to hear the  
    one when the source should yield the other. animal fury and orgiastic     
    licence here whipped themselves to daemoniac heights by howls and squawking 
    ecstasies that tore and reverberated through those nighted woods like     
    pestilential tempests from the gulfs of hell...."
