Looking at the mountain sheep leap up the mountain, I often cried out, "That was good! . . . Well done!"

 

"I saw a fine band of mountain sheep . . . They leaped up the face of the mountain just where I thought they wouldn't, and perhaps couldn't, go . . . Looking at them I often cried out, 'That was good!' . . . I exulted in the power and sufficiency of Nature, and felt like saying aloud to God as to a man, 'Well done!' "
