Tis distance lends enchantment to the view, and robes the mountain in its azure hue.
Thomas Campbell

How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains! ~John Muir, The Mountains of California

"The mountains were his masters. They rimmed in life. They were the cup of reality, beyond growth, beyond struggle and death. They were his absolute unity in the midst of eternal change."
â Thomas Wolfe, Look Homeward, Angel

I can see the mountains from my house, and it is comfort to see them, no matter what else happens.
