On The Production Of Stones

from Planets and Animals by Bob Drake

/

lyrics

The reason why some places produce stones
and others do not
greatly interested Albertus Magnus
and so he wrote a book, “The Book of Minerals”,
from which I shall now quote:

Let us now consider the places
stones are always or frequently produced
take into account that

many stones are found upon the banks of perennial streams
from this we know that these particular spots
are in possession of a special stone-producing property.

We must investigate the power of places,
some bring forth stones swiftly, others slow.
On the banks of the Oxis this requires thirty-three years.

So once again let’s consider the places
rocks are always or frequently produced
and how the power of the place
acts upon matter there.
