“I never have held death in contempt, though in the course of my explorations I have oftentimes felt that to meet one's fate on a noble mountain, or in the heart of a glacier, would be blessed as compared with death from disease, or from some shabby lowland accident. But the best death, quick and crystal-pure, set so glaringly open before us, is hard enough to face, even though we feel gratefully sure that we have already had happiness enough for a dozen lives.” LifeFeelsHeartHardEnoughWould BeFacesCoursesFeltFateDyingGratitudePureMountainDiseaseBlessedAccidentsNobleExplorationContemptDozenCrystalsBeing BlessedGlaciersShabby Book:John Muir: His Life and Letters and Other Writings Source: John Muir: His Life and Letters and Other Writings
