The best I've seen on the Rushdie Knighthood Affair yet:

"As he gazed around him the youth felt a flash of astonishment at the blue, pure sky and the sun gleaming on the trees and fields. It was surprising that Nature had gone tranquilly on with her golden process in the midst of so much devilment."
-Stephen Crane, The Red Badge of Courage
