It happened as if it never happened

It happened as if it never happened

Disappeared without leaving a trace. As if it had never existed.

("For when you have drunk on the holy mountain, all the nations will drink continually, and they will drink and swallow, and they will be as though they had not been" - Obadiah 16, and so on: "And all will be as nothing, and all will return as though they had not been" - H.N. Bialik/ In the city of slaughter, and so on: "They will be as though they had not been, and not a remnant will remain of them" - Shai Agnon/ Sifurei HaBe'Shat, Night of the Watch, and so on: "Even the intoxicating drink of oblivion- I built myself a shield - / behold, it was as it was not" - Rachel / Meeting)
