Mount Everest: A Journey to the Top of the World

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine.  I feel the presence of the Almighty, who formed us in his own image, and the breath of that universal love which bears and sustains us.

Better to see something once than hear about it a thousand times.

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot.

Telling the Story

When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary, I throw myself down among the tall grass by the trickling stream; and, as I lie close to the earth, a thousand unknown plants are noticed by me.

All you need to know is that it’s possible.

When I hear the buzz of the little world among the stalks, and grow familiar with the countless indescribable forms of the insects and flies, then I feel the presence of the Almighty, who formed us in his image, and the breath of the universal love which bears and sustains us, as it floats around us in an eternity of bliss.

And then, my friend when darkness overspreads my eyes, and heaven and earth seem to dwell in my soul and absorb its power. I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment. I lie close to the earth, a thousand unknown plants are noticed.

Pursuit of Happiness

O my friend — but it is too much for my strength — I sink under the weight of the splendour of these visions! A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart.

I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents. I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment.
