Sheep Mountain Valleys

More From Thomas Love Peacock

I certainly don't sit down and plan a book out before i write it. there's a phrase i use called "the valley full of clouds." writing a novel is as if you are going off on a journey across a valley. the valley is full of mist, but you can see the top of a tree here and the top of another tree over there. and with any luck you can see the other side of the valley. but you cannot see down into the mist. nevertheless, you head for the first tree.

All his life robert grainier would remember vividly the burned valley at sundown, the most dreamlike business he’d ever witnessed waking—the brilliant pastels of the last light overhead, some clouds high and white, catching daylight from beyond the valley, others ribbed and gray and pink, the lowest of them rubbing the peaks of bussard and queen mountains; and beneath this wondrous sky the black valley, utterly still, the train moving through it making a great noise but unable to wake this dead world.
Queens Moving Clouds
Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. climb the mountain just a little bit to test it's a mountain. from the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain.

The greatest risk in life is to risk nothing. the person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing and becomes nothing.
Climbing Risk Mountain
A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. the ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. and the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching.
