Journey To The Center Of The Earth

Was I to believe
him in earnest
in his intention to
penetrate to the
center of this
massive globe?
Had I been
listening to the
mad speculations
of a lunatic, or the
scientific conclusions
of a lofty genius?
Where did
truth stop?
Where did
error begin?

--Jules Verne
(from "Journey to the Center of the Earth")
