"Molten lead and iron boiled in the marble basin of the fountain; the water ran dry; the extinguisher tops of the towers vanished like ice before the heat... (p241)"
The fountains with the flowing waters are no longer existent. They continuous cycle of the water through the fountain represented the circle of life, and youthfulness. Now the fountains don't even have water in them. They have molten lead and iron, which shows what these people have turned into. At this point, they are not their normal selves, let alone, they are something of a completely different nature.
