"I consult frankly with the chalcedony, the cornelian, crystalized gypsum, spar, quartz, etc. I understood then that a stone is a kind of diary to the weather, a meteorological concentrate as it were. A stone is nothing but weather excluded from the atmospheric space and put away in functional space... All geological changes and displacements can be resolved completely into elements of the weather. " Conversation about Dante, pg. 165-166.
