The dream was wonder, but the terror was great. We must keep the dream, whatever the terror.

The Epic of Gilgamesh, Tablet VII, line 75

The stones have no rosetta.

Mark Edmonds, Prehistory in the Peak, p.96

Hit hade a hole on þe ende and on ayþer syde,

And ouergrowen with gresse in glodes aywhere,

And al watz hol3 inwith, nobot an olde caue,

Or a creuisse of an olde cragge …

It had a hole on the end and on either side,

And overgrown with grass in clumps everywhere,

And all was hollow within, nothing but an old cave,

Or a crevice of an old crag …

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, lines 2180–4
