"KABAUGWAKKO SONGWASHEE KUM WETTERHORN SNAWPO!" cried some one, as that grand summit gleamed with the first rose of dawn; and in a few moments the double crest of the Schreckhorn followed its example; peak after peak seemed warmed with life, the Jungfrau blushed even more beautifully than her neighbors, and soon, from the Wetterhorn in the east to the Wildstrubel in the west, a long row of fires glowed upon mighty altars, truly worthy of the gods.
All around me were these deep, green dells, from which comes up the tinkle of bells, like the dropping of rain every where It seems to me the air is more elastic and musical here than below, and gives grace to the commonest sound. Now I look back along the way we have been travelling. I look at the strange old cloudy mountains, the Eiger, the Wetterhorn, the Schreckhorn.
The valley sank beneath him, the horizon widened; here and there a snow-peak, and soon appeared the whole shining white alpine chain. Rudy knew every snow mountain, onward he strode towards the Schreckhorn, that elevates its white powdered snow-finger high in the air.
Only bleak, purplish crags, rising all around us, and silent, silver mountains looking over them. "That one directly before you is the Monk," says C., calling to me from behind, and pointing to a great snow peak. Our guide, with animation, introduced us by name to every one of these snow-white genii the Falhorn, the Schreckhorn, the Wetterhorn, the great Eiger, and I cannot remember what besides.

But Cecil suddenly sat bolt upright, his little face quite pink with excitement at recollection of these Alpine exploits. 'Yes, Sara had come down off the wardrobe she'd been sitting on the carved piece she says that's the Schreckhorn! but she'd come down off it, and we was just jumping about all those mountains like two shamrocks 'Like what? when she came in. 'Yes, agreed Sara.
But Leuthold, as he lighted the fire and prepared breakfast, bade them not despair, the sun might make all right. In a few moments, one by one, the summits of the Schreckhorn, the Finsteraarhorn, the Oberaarhorn, the Altmaner, the Scheuchzerhorn, lighted by the first rays of the sun, came out like islands above the ocean of mist, which softly broke away and vanished with the advancing light.
The second aspect of his "Duty" is Work. His master Goethe is to him as Apollo to Hercules, as Shakespeare to Luther; the one entire as the chrysolite, the other like the Schreckhorn rent and riven; the words of the former are oracles, of the latter battles; the one contemplates and beautifies truth, the other wrestles and fights for it.
All the surrounding peaks, the Jungfrau, the Schreckhorn, the Finsteraarhorn, most of them until then reputed unscalable, were ascended, and the limit of glacial action discovered; in short all the physical laws of the glacier were brought to light." We now return to the personal narrative.
