"And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear
the cries or curses of humankind. I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up under the worst God had to offer. I understood why
it was built -- a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance
that is not provided by one house on the plains." - E.L. Doctorow, "A House on the Plains", Sweet Land Stories
