"The mountains fairly seized me, and 'ere I knew, I was up the canyon . . . Had a glorious storm, and a thousand sacred beauties that seemed yet more and more divine . . . I was alone and during the whole excursion, was in a kind of calm, incurable ecstasy. I am hopelessly and forever a mountaineer."
