So
thoroughly did it represent the world’s civilization that if all man’s other
works were by some unspeakable catastrophe blotted out, the records
established at this Exposition by the assembled nations would afford the
necessary standards for the rebuilding of our entire civilization. -- David
R. Francis

The picture is grand. The scale immense. The distances enormous.
Illumination at night was wonderful... We are so accustomed to the use of
superlatives that it is difficult to select adequate terms.
