Summary

This quote is a grim representation of the inexorable and transformative power of nature. It suggests that everything in existence, whether living beings or inanimate objects, will eventually succumb to the violent forces of nature. The vivid imagery of a wood-chipper symbolizes the destruction and disintegration that occurs, leaving behind only gruesome remnants. It is a reminder of our transient nature and the inevitability of our eventual decay and return to the natural world.

If, with its stockpile of arms, it resolves to suppress the dissenters, America will face, I fear, an awful ordeal.
