RTTALK MAMA SAYS SHOW"

ALL THE FANCY THINGS YOU LOVED SO MUCH ARE GONE, THEY CRY. THE DAINTY LUXURIES AND SPLENDOR THAT YOU PRIZED SO MUCH WILL NEVER BE YOURS AGAIN. THEY ARE GONE FOREVER. AND SO THE MERCHANTS WHO HAVE BECOME WEALTHY BY SELLING HER THESE THINGS SHALL STAND AT A DISTANCE, FEARING DANGER TO THEMSELVES, WEEPING AND CRYING, ALAS, THAT GREAT CITY SO BEAUTIFUL--LIKE A WOMAN CLOTHED IN FINEST PURPLE AND SCARLET LINENS, DECKED OUT WITH GOLD AND PRECIOUS STONE AND PEARLS! IN ONE MONENT, ALL THE WEALTH OF THE CITY IS GONE, THEY AND ALL THE SHIPOWNERS AND CAPTAINS OF THE MERCHANT SHIPS AND CREWS WILL STAND A LONG WAY OFF, CRYING AS THEY WATCH THE SMOKE ASCEND, AND SAYING, WHERE IN ALL THE WORLD IS THERE ANOTHER CITY SUCH AS THIS?  AND THEY WILL THROW DUST ON THEIR HEADS IN THEIR SORROW AND SAY, ALAS, ALAS, FOR THAT GREAT CITY! SHE MADE US ALL RICH FROM HER GREAT WEALTH. AND NOW IN A SINGLE HOUR ALL IS GONE....
