The Simplon Pass —Brook and roadWere fellow-travellers in this gloomy Pass,And with them did we journey several hoursAt a slow step. The immeasurable heightOf woods decaying, never to be decayed,The stationary blasts of waterfalls,And in the narrow rent, at every turn,Winds thwarting winds bewildered and forlorn,The torrents shooting from the clear blue sky,The rocks that muttered close upon our ears,Black drizzling crags that spake by the waysideAs if a voice were in them, the sick sightAnd giddy prospect of the raving stream,The unfettered clouds and region of the heavens,Tumult and peace, the darkness and the light—Were all like workings of one mind, the featuresOf the same face, blossoms upon one tree,Characters of the great Apocalypse,The types and symbols of Eternity,Of first and last, and midst, and without end.

SUBLIME:Dark, large, awesome, terrifying, painful;

beautiful orderly, smooth, polished, pleasurable.

Nature becomes a place of worship and spirituality; the closer you are to “nature”, the closer you are to a creator (God).

Why do some people consider the natural world to be spiritual?

What are some arguments to preserve wilderness?
