In presence of Nature's grand convulsions, man is powerless. - Jules Verne (The Mysterious Island Quotes)

In presence of Nature’s grand convulsions, man is powerless.[Les colons avaient voulu lutter contre cet envahissement, ils l’avaient essayé, mais follement et inutilement, car l’homme est désarmé devant ces grands cataclysmes.]
