"I never weary gazing at the wonderful Cathedral [Peak]. It has more individual character than any other rock or mountain I ever saw, excepting perhaps the Yosemite South [Half] Dome. The forests, too, seem kindly familiar, and the lakes and meadows and glad singing streams. I should like to dwell with them forever. Here with bread and water I should be content . . . One would be at an endless Godful play, . . . creation just beginning, the morning stars 'still singing together and all the sons of God shouting for joy.' "
