That the changes were considerable no one can question; for while certain allowances must always be made for language used in describing such events as then took place, the very definite statements of the Book of Mormon with reference to these events leave no room for doubt as to the great transformations wrought in the physical aspects of the land by those great cataclysms.
— from New Witnesses for God (Volume 2 of 3) by B. H. (Brigham Henry) Roberts

Ah woeful soul, brother, unhappily lost, 95 Ah fair light unblest, in darkness sadly receding, All our house lies low, brother, inearthed in you, (95) Quench'd untimely with you, joy waits not ever a morrow, Joy which alive your love's bounty fed hour upon hour.
— from The Poems and Fragments of Catullus Translated in the Metres of the Original by Gaius Valerius Catullus

George an' dis yuther fellow look up in de sky an' say, 'I come from above, whar all is love.'
