The thunderbolt without the reverberations of thunder would frighten man but little, though the danger lies in the lightning, not in the noise. - Jules Verne (Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea Quotes)

The thunderbolt without the reverberations of thunder would frighten man but little, though the danger lies in the lightning, not in the noise.[La foudre, sans les roulements du tonnerre, effraierait peu les hommes, bien que le danger soit dans l’éclair, non dans le bruit.]
