Fire is the origin of stone. By working the stone with heat, I am returning it to its source.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Once the fired stone is out of the kiln, it is still possible to mentally reconstruct it in its original form.
I soon realised that what had happened on a small scale cannot necessarily be repeated on a larger scale. The stones were so big that the amount of heat required was prohibitively expensive and wasteful.
Stones are checked every so often to see if any have split or at worst exploded. An explosion can leave debris in the elements so the firing has to be abandoned.
The early firings contained many stones.
A stone is ingrained with geological and historical memories.
Fire is our first form of technology.
What is it about the component of fire? People have written about it. People have wondered about it.
The fire which enlightens is the same fire which consumes.
People who fight fire with fire usually end up with ashes.
The body is the substance of the stone.
