And what joy, think ye, did they feel after the exceeding long and troublos ascent? - after

Scrambling, slipping

Pulling, pushing

Lifting, gasping

Looking, hoping

Despairing, climbing

Holding on, falling off

Trying, puffing

Loosing, gathering

Talking, stepping

Grumbling, anathematising

Scraping, hacking

Bumping, jogging

Overturning, hunting

Straddling,

for know you that by these methods alone are the most divine mysteries of the Quest reached.
