"Open Secret."

00:00:03.670 --> 00:00:09.520 align:middle line:84%
"Perhaps, one day, I shall let
myself approach the mountain,

00:00:09.520 --> 00:00:13.120 align:middle line:84%
hear the streams which
must flow down it,

00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:19.970 align:middle line:84%
lie in a flowering meadow even
touch my hand to the snow.

00:00:19.970 --> 00:00:22.040 align:middle line:90%
Perhaps not.

00:00:22.040 --> 00:00:25.390 align:middle line:90%
I have no longing to do so.

00:00:25.390 --> 00:00:29.020 align:middle line:84%
I have visited other
mountain heights.

00:00:29.020 --> 00:00:34.780 align:middle line:84%
This one is not, I think, to
be known by close scrutiny,

00:00:34.780 --> 00:00:40.720 align:middle line:84%
by touch or foot or hand or
entire outstretched body,

00:00:40.720 --> 00:00:44.410 align:middle line:84%
not by any familiarity
of behavior,

00:00:44.410 --> 00:00:49.450 align:middle line:84%
any acquaintance with its
geology or the scarring roads

00:00:49.450 --> 00:00:53.840 align:middle line:84%
humans have carved
in its flanks.

00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:58.730 align:middle line:84%
This mountain's power
lies in the open secret

00:00:58.730 --> 00:01:04.879 align:middle line:84%
of its remote apparition,
silvery, low relief

00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:12.710 align:middle line:84%
coming and going moonlike at
the horizon, always loftier,

00:01:12.710 --> 00:01:16.930 align:middle line:90%
lonelier than I ever remember."
