At the sight of the glittering crosses the peasants coming into the city for the first time would often fall upon their faces and weep. This sacred city has passed through some horrible times. Famine has raged and the ravages of hunger caused parents to eat the flesh of their own children. Pestilence at one time stalked through the city like a mighty conqueror and a hundred and twenty thousand people perished before it could be checked. Nearly the entire city has gone up in smoke on more than one occasion and yet it still lives. When I was there its streets were ablaze with electric lights at night and thronged with shopping multitudes by day, but all this is changed at this time. If we can believe the historian, orgies have taken place in this city that would make it, for the time being, a rival of Hades itself.
