Even Rock is Transparent and Glows Like a Thought

 

"I spring to my feet crying: 'Heavens and earth!  Rock is not light, not heavy, but is transparent and unfathomable as the sky itself.  Every pore gushes, glows like a thought with immortal life, . . . the whole rocky picture seemingly translucent as if lighted from within by its own internal light!' "
