Litho-harmonies in Languedoc

There is an ageless white haired sage dwelling in the heart of Languedoc who's chiseling incessantly a magical formula for capturing time into the crystalline structure of stone. It is a ruthless endeavor  for time can be quite a nefarious foe and actually very few can boast with a definite.result in this kind of quest. One of them named Ariel Moscovici is a long time practitioner of this so called Hrono-Lithography, a practice as ancient as the first gesture of a prehistoric shaman. He inhabits a space where history is in a perpetual echo stasis, so tactile that simple blinking of the eyes seems to leave traces on one's surroundings. His expertise is in capturing time traveling crystalline structures careless enough to pause briefly,inside his sanctuary. He tempers them with his brand of esthetics although he would deny it, maintaining that esthetics to him would be what Ornithology is to birds. Time with an array of multidimensional nuances can be a mesmerizing site and Moscovici, an exquisite tuner of litho-harmonies is placing them at the most auspicious conjectures to increase their resonance. Several time units ago he managed to place a eight-part formula in the proximity of the tallest structure built on the Northern shore of the island of Formosa - four split bubbles of pure marble time traveling from Palumbrian to an unknown destination. There is a debate going on about the symbology revealed and the long term effect it may have on the viewers. But there have been accounts that it is just enough to slant your eyes at the right angle and you can glimpse into an age when a nameless ocean was trying to mimic the sky.
