“And with what amazement should we feel it under us like an open Hell, or a wide bottomless pit? So deep, and hollow, and vast; so broken and confus’d, so every way deform’d and monstrous. This would eventually waken our imagination, and make us enquire and wonder how such a thing came in Nature…” Thomas Burnet, The Theory of the Earth
