“In the early days, when they thought that this epidemic was much like the other epidemics, religion held its ground, But, once these people realized their instant peril, they gave their thoughts to pleasure. And all the hideous fears which stamp their faces in the daytime are transformed in the fiery, dusty nightfall into a sort of heroic exaltation, an unkempt freedom fevering their blood.”
Albert Camus (1913-60) first published “The Plague” (la Peste) in 1947.
