Introduction
"The fineness of Nature’s work is so great, that into a single block of stone, a foot or two in diameter, she can compress as many changes of form and structure, on a small scale, as she needs for her mountains on a large one; and, taking moss for forests, and grains of crystal for crags, the surface of a stone, in the plurality of instances, is more interesting than the surface of an ordinary hill; more fantastic in form, and incomparably richer in colours."
John Ruskin, Modern Painters, Vol. IV
