“Nothing had changed. Their lives had been expended in the cheerless labor, their wills broken, their intelligences numbed. Now they were in the earth to which they had given their lives; and slowly, year by year, the earth would take them.

And they would become a meaningless part of that stubborn earth to which they had long ago given themselves.”
― John Williams, Stoner
