"How happens it that we reverence the stones which fall from another planet, and not the stones which belong to this, - another globe, not this, - heaven, and not earth? Are not the [earthly] stones as good as the aerolite [meteorite] at Mecca? Is not our broad back-door-stone as good as any corner-stone in heaven?"
Henry David Thoreau, 1856
