• The country through which we had been travelling for days has an original beauty. Wide plains were diversified by stretches of hilly country with low passes. We often had to wade through swift running ice-cold brooks. It has long since we had seen a glacier, but as we were approaching the tasam at Barka, a chain of glaciers gleaming in the sunshine came into view. The landscape was dominated by the 25,000-foot peak of Gurla Mandhata; less striking, but far more famous, was the sacred Mount Kailash, 3,000 feet lower, which stands in majestic isolation apart from the Himalayan range.

• I have come to a still, but not a deep center,
  A point outside the glittering current;
  My eyes stare at the bottom of a river,
  At the irregular stones, iridescent sandgrains,
  My mind moves in more than one place,
  In a country half-land, half-water.
  I am renewed by death, thought of my death,
  The dry scent of a dying garden in September,
  The wind fanning the ash of a low fire.
  What I love is near at hand,
  Always, in earth and air.

  Warms the low spot; upon its grassy mold
  The pur0ple oak-leaf falls; the birchen bough
  drops its bright spoil like arrow-heads of gold.
