The din of the dustyworld and the confinesof human habitationsare what human naturehabitually abhors: while,on the contrary, haze,mist, and the hauntingspirits of the mountainsare what human natureseeks, and yet canrarely find.

“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s
peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares
will drop off like autumn leaves.”
