The classic example is the doorway that continued to exist so long as a certain beggar frequented it, but which was lost to sight when he died. Sometimes a few birds, a horse, have saved the ruins of an amphitheater. (So many great CS concepts anticipated and illustrated by Borges in his stories! Definitely one of my favorite authors!)
