| 説明 | On a December hike with my friend Clark. THis used to be a very easy hike, about 3.5 miles and 1300 feet of elevation gain to this spot. With the recent (November, 2006) floods at Mount Rainier National Park, it is going to be much longer because the road to the parking lot has been severely damaged. It's always a great hike, I hope that the road is repaired, esle it will be a much longer hike.This was taken at the snout of the Carbon Glacier Carbon Glacier in Mount Rainier National Park, I believe the lowest elevation glacier in the continental US. It's also a glacier that hasn't receded much (unlike others in Washington state). It is covered with a lot of dirt and rocks, hence the name Carbon Glacier.MRNP Carbon Glacier 18 Dec 04Carbon GlacierThy open lips of ice doth pour A gushing stream in noisy floodA stream released in joyful roar, Behold: A glacier's milk white blood.Grind, grind, grind to crumbling dust these stones!Grind, grind, grind The Mountain's shattered bones!How weak the pen, how vain the brush To catch the hues of this deep gash!How here revealed thy power to crush, How awful is thy breathing's crash.Grind, grind, grind The rocks however hurled!Grind, grind, grind Thou mill-stone of a world!New life from death, eternal whirl, How brief each puny span of life!How long the atoms, grinding swirl, Ere seized anew for a season's strife!Grind, grind, grind To powder every stone!Grind, grind, grind New life will death atone!I mount thy shoulders' utmost height, Where threatening ice-cliffs poise and nod,Where avalanches roar in flight, Like flying demons cursed of God.Grind, grind, grind and grind exceeding fine!Grind, grind, grind My Father's will and thine!Edmund S.
