I'm so glad I found him at last.
"Human beings were so prolific back then that conventional explosions like that had few if any long-term biological consequences. Even at the end of protracted wars, there still seemed to be plenty of people around. Babies were always so plentiful that serious efforts to reduce the population by means of violence were doomed to failure. They no more left permanent injuries, except for the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, than did the Bahia de Darwin as it slit and roiled the trackless sea."
(Galapagos, p.254)
Somehow, I see a parallel between him and Maya Angelou... I really need to read some more and think what exactly that may be...
And, I will not comment on the weather - let the photo speak for itself:
