"Ah, gentlemen, if the governing classes could go down among the unfortunates! But no, they prefer to remain deaf to their appeals. It seems that a fatality impels them, like the royalty of the eighteenth century, toward the precipice which will engulf them, for woe be to those who remain deaf to the cries of the starving, woe to those who, believing themselves of superior essence, assume the right to exploit those beneath them! There comes a time when the people no longer reason; they rise like a hurricane, and pass away like a torrent. Then we see bleeding heads impaled on pikes.英文原著 · 《Anarchism and Other Essays》
Except for a single unheard bark of protest, Lad made no effort to call back the departing humans. Never before had they forsaken him. And he had full trust that they would come back in a few minutes and set him free. When the car halted, a half-mile below, Lad felt certain his faith was about to be justified. Then, as it moved on again, he sprang to the end of his short rope, and tried to break free and follow. Then came the dying away of the chugging motor's echoes; and silence rolled up and engulfed the wilderness hilltop. Lad was alone. They had gone off and left him.英文原著 · 《Further Adventures of Lad》

Vines threatened to engulf the circling street of sepulchers in greenery and bloom, and grass to encroach on the flower plots.英文原著 · 《Greyfriars Bobby》
Could they control and direct the eruption when they had succeeded in letting loose its vapor and flames, and lava streams? The entire cone might be engulfed. It was meddling with phenomena of which nature herself has the absolute monopoly. Paganel had thought of all this; but he intended to act prudently and without pushing things to extremes. An appearance would be enough to dupe the Maories, and there was no need for the terrible realities of an eruption. How long that day seemed. Each one of the party inwardly counted the hours. All was made ready for flight.英文原著 · 《In Search of the Castaways》
