First Impression Made by an
Earthquake.—Beforewe quit this great phenomenon, we must advert
to that inde-scribable, deep, and peculiar impression which the first
earth-quake which we experience makes upon us, even when
unac-companied with subterranean noises. The impression is not,I
believe, the consequence of any recollection of destructivecatastrophes
presented to our imagination by historicalnarratives. That which seizes
upon us so wonderfully, the disabuse of our innate faith in the firmness of
thesolid and sure set foundations of the earth. From in-fancy we are
accustomed to the contrast between the move-able element of water, and the
immovability of the soilon which we stand—a belief confirmed by the
evidence ofour senses. But when the ground suddenly rocks beneath
us,the feeling of an unknown mysterious power in nature cominginto
action, and shaking the solid globe arises in the mind. Theillusion of our
early life is instantaneously annihilated. We areundeceived as to the
repose of nature; we feel ourselves trans-ported to the realm, and
subjected to the empire of destructiveunknown powers. Every sound, the
slightest rustle in the air,sets attention on the rack, and we no longer
trust the earth onwhich we stand. The unusualness of the
phenomenonthrows the same anxious unrest and alarm over the lower
ani-mals. Swine and dogs are particularly affected by it; and thevery
crocodiles of the Orinoco, otherwise as dumb as ourlizards, leave the
trembling bed of the stream, and rush bel-lowing into the woods. To man the
earthquake is somethingunlimited and all pervading. We can remove from the
activecrater of a volcano; we can escape from the flood of lava thatis
pouring down upon our dwelling; but with the earthquakewe feel that
whithersoever we fly we are still over the hearthof
destruction.—“ Baron Humboldt’s Kosmos.”
