Quotation from: Lost Continent

Written by: Edgar Rice Burroughs


Rounding the base of a large pile of grass-covered debris,
we came suddenly upon the best preserved ruin we had yet
discovered. The entire lower story and part of the second
story of what must once have been a splendid public building
rose from a great knoll of shrubbery and trees, while ivy,
thick and luxuriant, clambered upward to the summit of the
broken walls.


In many places the gray stone was still exposed, its
smoothly chiseled face pitted with the scars of battle. The
massive portal yawned, somber and sorrowful, before us,
giving a glimpse of marble halls within.
