Alpinist A. pays tribute to the
immortal work of Caspar David Friedrich
"Keep your eye fixed on the way to the top, but don't forget to look right in front of you. The last step depends on the first. Don't think you've arrived just because you see the summit. Watch your footing, be sure of the next step, but don't let that distract you from the highest goal. The first step depends on the last."
From
Mount Analogue by René Daumal
