"Imagine a fairy chain stretched from mountain peak to mountain peak, as far as the eye could reach, and paid out until it reached the 'high places' of the earth at a number of ridges, banks, and knowls. Then visualise a mound, circular earthwork, or clump of trees, planted on these high points, and in low points in the valley other mounds ringed around with water to be seen from a distance. Then great standing stones brought to mark the way at intervals, and on a bank leading up to a mountain ridge or down to a ford the track cut deep so as to form a guiding notch on the skyline as you come up.... Here and there, at two ends of the way, a beacon fire used to lay out the track. With ponds dug on the line, or streams banked up into 'flashes' to form reflecting points on the beacon track so that it might be checked when at least once a year the beacon was fired on the traditional day. All these works exactly on the sighting line." ...

  SECTION III. Know my Son, that the philosophers bind up their matter with a strong chain, that it may contend with the Fire; because the spirits in the washed bodies desire to dwell therein and to rejoice. In these habitations they verify themselves and inhabit there, and the bodies hold them, nor can they be thereafter separated any more. The dead elements are revived, the composed bodies tinge and are altered, and by a wonderful process they are made permanent, as saith the philosopher. O, permanent watery Form, creatrix of the royal elements; who, having with thy brethren and a just government obtained the tincture , findest rest. Our most precious stone is cast forth upon the dunghill, and that which is most worthy is made vilest of the vile. Therefore, it behoves us to mortify two Argent vives together, both to venerate and be venerated, viz., the Argent vive of Auripigment, and the oriental Argent vive of Magnesia O, Nature, the most potent c...

Crystal Palace for the Werkbund Exhibition The Glass Pavilion , built in 1914 and de­si­gned by Bruno Taut , was a prismatic glass dome struc­ture at the Cologne Deutscher Werk­bund Exhibition . [1] [2] The struc­ture was a brightly co­lo­red land­mark of the ex­hi­bi­tion, and was con­struc­ted using concrete and glass. [1] [2] The con­crete struc­ture had in­laid co­lo­red glass pla­tes on the fa­cade that acted as mir­rors. [3] Taut de­scri­bed his little temple of beauty as « …reflections of light whose colors began at the base with a dark blue and rose up through moss green and golden yellow to culminate at the top in a luminous pale yellow.

Rockall is made of a type of peralkaline granite that is relatively rich in sodium and potassium . Within this granite are darker bands richer in the alkali pyroxene mineral aegirine and the alkali amphibole mineral riebeckite . The dark bands are a type of granite that geologists have named "rockallite", although use of this term is now discouraged. In 1975, a new mineral was discovered on Rockall. The mineral is called bazirite, (chemical composition BaZrSi 3 O 9 ), named after the elements barium and zirconium . [26] Rockall forms part of the deeply eroded Rockall Igneous Centre that was formed as part of the North Atlantic Igneous Province , [27] approximately 55 million years ago, when the ancient continent of Laurasia was split apart by plate tectonics . Greenland and Europe separated and the north-east Atlantic Ocean was formed between them. [28]   Wikipedia
