  • Mont Blanc yet gleams on high: the power is there, The still and solemn power of many sights And many sounds, and much of life and death.

  • O eternal truth and true love and beloved eternity! You are my God; to you I sigh by day and by night. And when I first knew you, you raised me up so that I could see that there was something to see and that I still lacked the ability to see it. And you beat back the weakness of my sight, blazing upon me with your rays, and I trembled in love and in dread.
