"Gazing around, looking up at the lofty pinnacles above,
which seemed to pierce the sky, looking down upon the world, —
it seemed the whole world, so limitless it stretched away at her feet, —
feeling that infinite unspeakable sense of nearness to Heaven,
remoteness from earth which comes only on mountain heights,
she drew in a long breath of delight, and cried:
"At last! (...) This is freedom! This is joy!"
Helen Hunt Jackson
