“If it formed the one landscape that we, the inconstant ones, are consistently homesick for,
This is because it dissolves in water……………….
When I try to imagine a faultless love or the life to come,
What I hear is the murmur of underground streams,
What I see is a limestone landscape. ”
In Praise of Limestone, by W.H. Auden
