Atomic Dog

In the forest, in battle, in the midst of arrows, javelins fire
Out on the great sea, at the precipice's edge in the mountains
In sleep, in delirium, in deep trouble
The good deeds a man has done before defend him

J. Robert Oppenheimer quoting
Hindu scripture just prior to
the Trinity Explosion

Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds

J. Robert Oppenheimer quoting
Hindu scripture, The Bhagavad-Gita,
upon witnessing the Trinity Explosion
