By the Waters of Babylon

By the Waters of Babylon

By the Waters of Babylon” is a fantasy title taken from Psalm 137 in the Bible.  The Psalm tells of the Israelites’ great sorrow over the destruction of their temple in Jerusalem (Zion) and the enslavement of Babylon.  The Psalm opens “By the waters of Babylon, there we sat down and wept, when we remember Zion.”
	Steven Vincent Benet, a Spanish writer, that remembers the destruction and the reconstruction after a war, wrote this story with the purpose of warning the human race.  This story was written in the midst of World War II, when Nazi Germany, the Italian and Japanese Government were bent on worldwide conquest.  Since it was written before the invention of nuclear weapons, we can only guess that the demise of civilization occurred as a result of some type of chemical or biological usage in warfare.  
	In his vision, he saw how civilization was to change in comparison to the twentieth century.  The new culture is a culture of innocence and renewal, since people have returned to the simple ways of long ago.  The economy is underdeveloped and the technology that existed from the past. The
