Something About The Duration Of Past Time

Zakir Hussain: Music of the Deserts



Therefore
a man should
examine for himself
the great piles of
superimposed strata,
and watch
the rivulets
bringing down mud,
and the waves
wearing away
the sea-cliffs,
in order to
comprehend something
about the duration
of past time,
the monuments
of which we see
all around us.
--Charles Darwin
On the Origin
of Species
