    There are none of his enemies but carry with them their own destruction. Thus didst thou, O Son of David, foil Satan with his own weapon : that, whereby he meant destruction to thee and us, vanquished him through thy mighty power, and raised thee to that glorious triumph and superexaltation, wherein thou art, wherein we shall be with thee.

    1863, Joseph Hall, Philip Wynter, The Works, Oxford University Press, page 386

    For months they had been preparing for this day, the crowning experiment and test, and all seemed of a type carefully chosen for their part, soldiers who had turned land sailors, cool and phlegmatic like the monsters which they directed. Each one having given himself up to fate, the rest was easy in these days of war's superexaltation, which makes men appear perfectly normal when death hovers near. Not one would have changed places with any infantryman.

    1917, Frederick Palmer, My Second Year of the War, Toronto McClelland, Goodchild & Stewart, page 386
