Flying from Ocean to Ocean
de M. Porter, M. | July 10, 1929 issue

You may not care for geology; the formation of the earth may be of remote interest to you; you may have no curiosity concerning the continent where you were born, but how could you remain indifferent if you had seen, as the author did, the bottoms of seas that had been; stretches of sand still holding up some forgotten island, dejectedly waiting for the tide that will never come back to restore its aloofness. The author has seen mountains, the symbol of strength and solidity, which could not conceal the decadent shapes of their liquid past, nor the heavy folds of their syrupy origin.
