Wherever you look, the demon adores the city and state, until every noble thing commits suicide by fratricide, by hellfire", "Don't you see it? Don't I feel it?", "You have to shudder! Don't you identify the diabolical jester in every face?" , "For 50 years only hatred and betrayal aroused in him" etc.
