The Earth with its scarred face is the symbol of the Past; the Air and Heaven, of Futurity.

It had all come about in pursuit of symbols. In the beginning was the symbol, and darkness was over the face of the earth.
Brian Aldiss
He had a battered face that looked as if it had been hit by everything but the bucket of a dragline. It was scarred, flattened, thickened, checkered, and welted. It was a face that had nothing to fear. Everything had been done to it that anybody could think of.
Raymond Chandler
The pure memories given
To help our joy on earth, when earth is past,
Shall help our joy in heaven.Margaret Junkin Preston
Nature repairs her ravages, but not all. The uptorn trees are not rooted again; the parted hills are left scarred; if there is a new growth, the trees are not the same as the old, and the hills underneath their green vesture bear the marks of the past rending. To the eyes that have dwelt on the past, there is no thorough repair.
