- The Germans have an **inhuman** way of cutting up their verbs. Now a verb has a hard time enough of it in this world when it's all together. It's downright **inhuman** to split it up. But that's just what those Germans do. They take part of a verb and put it down here, like a stake, and they take the other part of it and put it away over yonder like another stake, and between these two limits they just shovel in German.
  Les Allemands ont une manière inhumaine de découper leurs verbes. Un verbe a de toutes façons déjà assez de mal en ce monde lorsqu'il est entier. C'est simplement **inhumain** de le diviser. Mais c'est précisément ce que les Allemands font. Ils prennent une partie d'un verbe, et le plantent là, comme un piquet, puis prennent l'autre partie et l'éloignent de l'autre côté, comme un autre piquet et ils pellettent simplement de l'allemand entre ces deux frontières.

- What might not have happened to men? What if cruelty had grown into a common passion?
