Once upon a time—but whether in the time past or time to come is a matter of little or no moment—this wide world had become so overburdened with an accumulation of worn-out trumpery, that the inhabitants determined to rid themselves of it by a general bonfire. The site fixed upon at the representation of the insurance companies, and as being as central a spot as any other on the globe, was one of the broadest prairies of the West, where no human habitation would be endangered by the flames, and where a vast assemblage of spectators might commodiously admire the show. Having a taste for sights of this kind, and imagining, likewise, that the illumination of the bonfire might reveal some profundity of moral truth heretofore hidden in mist or darkness, I made it convenient to journey thither and be present. At my arrival, although the heap of condemned rubbish was as yet comparatively small, the torch had already been applied. Amid that boundless plain, in the dusk of the evening, like a far off star alone in the firmament, there was merely visible one tremulous gleam, whence none could have anticipated so fierce a blaze as was destined to ensue. With every moment, however, there came foot-travellers, women holding up their aprons, men on horseback, wheelbarrows, lumbering baggage-wagons, and other vehicles, great and small, and from far and near, laden with articles that were judged fit for nothing but to be burned. EARTH'S HOLOCAUST. 옛날 옛적에—그러나 과거에 있든 오는 시대든 간에-이 넓은 세상은 낡아빠진 나팔 소리의 축적으로 너무 과중해져서 주민들은 그것을 없애기로 결정했습니다. 일반 모닥불. 보험 회사의 대표로 고정된 부지는 지구상의 다른 어느 곳 못지않게 중심적인 장소로서 서구에서 가장 넓은 대초원 중 하나였습니다. 그곳에서 어떤 인간의 주거도 화염에 의해 위험에 처하지 않을 것이며, 방대한 관객 집합은 쇼를 충분히 감상할 수 있습니다. 이런 종류의 광경을 맛보고 마찬가지로 모닥불을 밝히는 것이 안개나 어둠 속에 숨겨져 있던 심오한 도덕적 진리를 드러낼 수 있다고 상상하면서 나는 그곳으로 여행을 가거나 참석하는 것이 편리했습니다. 내가 도착했을 때, 정죄된 쓰레기 더미는 아직 비교적 적었지만 횃불은 이미 켜져 있었다. 그 끝없는 평원 한가운데, 저녁 해질녘에 궁창에 홀로 있는 저 멀리 별처럼, 오직 하나의 떨리는 번쩍임이 보였을 뿐이었다. 그러나 매 순간, 도보 여행자, 앞치마를 들고 있는 여성, 말을 탄 남성, 수레, 짐을 실은 수레와 기타 차량이 크고 작으며 멀리서부터 근거리에서 적합하다고 판단되는 물품을 실어 왔습니다. 불타오르는 것 외에는. 지구의 홀로코스트(EARTH'S HOLOCAUST).The arrangements and decorations of the banquet were probably intended to signify that death in life which had been the testator's definition of existence. The hall, illuminated by torches, was hung round with curtains of deep and dusky purple, and adorned with branches of cypress and wreaths of artificial flowers, imitative of such as used to be strewn over the dead. A sprig of parsley was laid by every plate. The main reservoir of wine, was a sepulchral urn of silver, whence the liquor was distributed around the table in small vases, accurately copied from those that held the tears of ancient mourners. Neither had the stewards—if it were their taste that arranged these details—forgotten the fantasy of the old Egyptians, who seated a skeleton at every festive board, and mocked their own merriment with the imperturbable grin of a death's-head. Such a fearful guest, shrouded in a black mantle, sat now at the head of the table. It was whispered, I know not with what truth, that the testator himself had once walked the visible world with the machinery of that sane skeleton, and that it was one of the stipulations of his will, that he should thus be permitted to sit, from year to year, at the banquet which he had instituted. If so, it was perhaps covertly implied that he had cherished no hopes of bliss beyond the grave to compensate for the evils which he felt or imagined here. And if, in their bewildered conjectures as to the purpose of earthly existence, the banqueters should throw aside the veil, and cast an inquiring glance at this figure of death, as seeking thence the solution otherwise unattainable, the only reply ...
