"... The pebbles, rocks, and boulders that can be found in the stream that
runs down into the Bay of Ficajola, Corsica, share a waypoint but not an
origin. Some have been dislodged from adjacent hills and mountains by
rain and conveyed downstream until friction and gravity curtail their
transport to the sea. Some preexist the flow of water, their geological
makeup stubbornly resisting any attempt to shift or dissolve them.
Others have been placed there deliberately, to serve as stepping stones
or to dam the stream and divert its course. They differ in age by
millennia. But there in the riverbed, the ragged edges of their cleaved
histories worn smooth by the agency of the current, the stones share a
resemblance. ..."
