"...To catacombs, caverns, and deserts."
The Hermit, Mikhail Nesterov, 1889
And we, the wise men and the poets
Custodians of truths and of secrets
Will bear off our torches of knowledge
To catacombs, caverns and deserts.
[L.A. Lyusternik, quoted in Naming Infinity, by Loren Graham and Jean-Michel Kantor]
