The fall of dropping water wears away the Stone.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The drops of rain make a hole in the stone, not by violence, but by oft falling.
The stones tear like flesh, rather than breaking. Although what happens is violent, it is a violence that is in stone. A tear is more unnerving than a break.
A stone is ingrained with geological and historical memories.
The body is the substance of the stone.
It's frightening and unnerving to watch a stone melt.
The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
If any have a stone to throw It is not I, ever or now.
The hardened mass of liquid stones had much stronger qualities than those which had simply torn. The skin remained a recognisable part of the molten stone.
Fling but a stone, the giant dies.
Leave no stone unturned.
