STONE

The ring on the finger becomes thin by wearing,
the fall of dripping water hollows the stone.
Titus Lucretius Carus

Fling but a stone, and the giant dies.
Laugh and be well.
Matthew Green

Stone, bronze, stone, steel, stone, oakleaves, horse's heels.
Over the paving.
Thomas Stearns Elliot

Everyone to his own.
The bird is in the sky, the stone rests on the land.
In water lives the fish, my spirit in God's Hands
Johannes Scheffler
