"The Grandeur..."

"The grandeur of the scene was but softened by the haze that hung over the valley - light as gossamer - and by the clouds that partially dimmed the highest cliffs and mountains. This obscurity of vision but increased the awe with which I beheld it, and as I looked, a peculiar sensation seemed to fill my whole being, and I found my eyes in tears with emotion...".  L. Bunnell
