[Cz-L] Eternity

High up in the North in the land called Svithjod, there stands a rock. It
is
   one hundred miles high and one hundred miles wide. Once every thousand
  years a little bird comes to this rock to sharpen its beak.
   When the rock has thus been worn away, then a single day
    of eternity will have gone by.
 ( From the Story of Mankind by Hendrik Willem van Loon)

    Down at the Ham in Czernowitz the artesian fountain spouts out water
    day and night.
       Thirsty horses come to quench their thirst.
     They drink and drink and drink.
        Then they relieve themselves copiously.
       When the Ham will thus become a lake - a single day of Czernowitzer
        history will be written.
         ( From Hardy's annals of Czernowitz History).
