Yone Noguchi,
The Voice of the Valley — Song of Day in Yosemite Valley
(1897)
“ Alone I stray by the mountain walls that support the enameled mirror-sky,Enfolding my free-born soul in the vice-purifying odors of the forest from an unknown corner of Paradise.Art thirsty?—here rolls the snow-robed water for thy fulfillment ”
Yone Noguchi,
The Voice of the Valley — Song of Day in Yosemite Valley
(1897)
“ Does dullness veil thee?—here a stone chamber invites thee into the world of dreams through an unseen door.O return, brother mortal, from Samsara unto the great Valley!Yea, the mighty Temple of the World, everlasting with the heaven and earth, welcomes thee! ”
