Disfigurement

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), "The Colloquy of Monos and Una," Tales (New York: Wiley and Putnam, 1845), pp. 100-109 (at 102):
Meantime huge smoking cities arose, innumerable. Green leaves shrank before the hot breath of furnaces. The fair face of Nature was deformed as with the ravages of some loathsome disease.
