“Since time out of mind, mountains have served as religious symbols…[and]…It scarcely needs saying that external nature –- mountain, plain, or sea –- inspired literary reactions at least as long ago as the descriptive similes of Homer and Virgil.”
–- Armand E. Singer (1982), in the introduction to Essays on the Literature of Mountaineering
