Re: Lisbon Earthquake 1755

I remember learning as an undergrad that the earthquake had a profound
effect on European psychology -- at least among the intellectuals.  It
suggested that reason was incapable of taking total control and helped
to fuel the romantic movement, which in turn helped to inspire the
Nazis.
