John Muir Quote
Concerning an aurora, "vivid crimson … indescribably rich and deep":
The white, rayless light of morning, seen when I was alone amid the peaks of the California Sierra, had always seemed to me the most telling of all the terrestrial manifestations of God. But here the mountains themselves were made divine, and declared His glory in terms still more impressive.
Travels in Alaska (1915), chapter 9: The Discovery of Glacier Bay
