Peter Matthiessen Quotes

Left Alone, I Am Overtaken By The Northern Void-no Wind, No Cloud, No Track, No Bird, Only The Crystal Crescents Between Peaks, The Ringing Monuments Of Rock That, Freed From The Talons Of Ice And Snow, Thrust An Implacable Being Into The Blue. In The Early Light, The Rock Shadows On The Snow Are Sharp; In The Tension Between Light And Dark Is The Power Of The Universe. This Stillness To Which All Returns, This Is Reality, And Soul And Sanity Have No More Meaning Than A Gust Of Snow; Such Transience And Insignificance Are Exalting, Terrifying, All At Once ... Snow Mountains, More Than Sea Or Sky, Serve As A Mirror To One's Own True Being, Utterly Still, Utterly Clear, A Void, An Emptiness Without Life Or Sound That Carries In Itself All Life, All Sound.
