“Thou who wouldst see the lovely and the wild Mingled in harmony on Nature's face, Ascend our rocky mountains. Let thy foot Fail not with weariness, for on their tops The beauty and the majesty of earth, Spread wide beneath, shall make thee to forget The steep and toilsome way.” WayEarthFacesForgetFailingFeetMountainHarmonySpreadWideLovelyTheeLandscapeMajestyWearinessSteepRocky Mountain Author:William C.

“I like to think of the landscape not as a fixed place but as a path that is unwinding before my eyes, under my feet. To see and know a place is a contemplative act. It means emptying our minds and letting what is there, in all its mulitplicity and endless variety, come in.” ThinkingKnowsMindMeanEyePathFeetEndlessVarietyLandscapeFixedContemplative Author:Gretel Ehrlich
