Dover Quotes

• Tal vez no escriba mi relato del Paleolítico, sino que haga una película sobre él. Una película muda, en la que les mostraré primero las grandes rocas dormidas del período Cámbrico, y pasaré de ellas a las montañas de Gales... del Ordovícico al Devónico, en los exuberantes y brillantes Cotswolds, hasta los blancos acantilados de Dover... Una película impresionista, de ensueño, en la que las rocas plegadas surgen y florecen y crecen y se convierten en la catedral de Salisbury y en York Minster.
