 Thus spake the mountains: "Behold1 us, even us; the old ones, the grey ones, that wear the feet of Time. Time on our rocks shall break his staff and stumble: and still we shall sit majestic2, even as now, hearing the sound of the sea, our old coeval3 sister, who nurses the bones of her children and weeps for the things she has done.
 
"Far, far, we stand above all things; befriending the little cities until they grow old and leave us to go among the myths.
 
"We are the most imperishable mountains."
 
And softly the clouds foregathered from far places, and crag on crag and mountain upon mountain in the likeness4 of Caucasus upon Himalaya came riding past the sunlight upon the backs of storms and looked down idly from their golden heights upon the crests5 of the mountains.
 
"Ye pass away," said the mountains.
 
And the clouds answered, as I dreamed or fancied,
 
"We pass away, indeed we pass away, but upon our unpasturable fields Pegasus prances6. Here Pegasus gallops7 and browses8 upon song which the larks9 bring to him every morning from far terrestrial fields. His hoof-beats ring upon our slopes at sunrise as though our fields were of silver. And breathing the dawn-wind in dilated10 nostrils11, with head tossed upwards12 and with quivering wings, he stands and stares from our tremendous heights, and snorts and sees far-future wonderful wars rage in the creases13 and the folds of the togas that cover the knees of the gods."
