Geology
Sand and Its Greater Metamorphosis
In places vast accumulations of sand weighing millions
of tons move inexorably, in regular formation, over the surface of the
country, growing, retaining their shape, even breeding, in a manner
which, by its grotesque imitation of life, is vaguely disturbing to
the imaginative mind.
