Alp

  I live not in myself, but I become
  Portion of that around me; and to me
  High mountains are a feeling, but the hum
  Of human cities torture: I can see
  Nothing to loathe in nature, save to be
  A link reluctant in a fleshy chain,
  Chased among creatures, when the soul can flee,
  And with the sky, the peak, the heaving plain
Of ocean, or the stars, mingle, and not in vain.

  But let me quit man's works, again to read
  His Maker's, spread around me, and suspend
  This page, which from my reveries I feed,
  Until it seems prolonging without end;
  The clouds above me to the white Alps tend,
  And I must pierce them, and survey whate'er
  May be permitted, as my steps I bend
  To their most great and growing region, where
The earth to her embrace compels the powers of air.

(Byron, Childe Harold)
