Christopher Hitchens quote: "It's like a memorial to Atlantis or Lyonesse: these are the..."
It's like a memorial to Atlantis or Lyonesse: these are the stone buoys that mark a drowned world. Christopher Hitchens
But afterwards there occurred violent earthquakes and floods; and in a single day and night of misfortune all your warlike men in a body sank into the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared in the depths of the sea. Plato
Herman Melville was as separated from a civilized literature as the lost Atlantis was said to have been from the great peoples of the earth. Edward Dahlberg
