The Mountaineer

Lily on the summit, Mt. McLoughlin, 2011

OH, at the eagle’s height
To lie i’ the sweet of the sun,
While veil after veil takes flight
And God and the world are one.

Oh, the night on the steep!
All that his eyes saw dim
Grows light in the dusky deep,
And God is alone with him.

~by George William (“A. E.”) Russell (1867–1935)
