John Muir Frases y Citas

“El sol brilla no sobre nosotros sino en nosotros. Los ríos no fluyen más allá, sino a través de nosotros, emocionante hormigueo vibra en cada fibra y célula de la sustancia de nuestros cuerpos, haciéndonos deslizar y cantar. La ola de los árboles y las flores florecen en nuestros cuerpos como nuestras almas, y cada canción del pájaro, canción del viento y canción de la tremenda tormenta de las rocas en el corazón de las montañas es nuestra canción, nuestra y canta nuestro amor.”

John Muir

Original: «The sun shines not on us but in us. The rivers flow not past, but through us, thrilling, tingling, vibrating every fiber and cell of the substance of our bodies, making them glide and sing. The trees wave and the flowers bloom in our bodies as well as our souls, and every bird song, wind song, and tremendous storm song of the rocks in the heart of the mountains is our song, our very own, and sings our love». <br class="br">Fuente: Mountain Thoughts, 7 de agosto, 2016, John Muir, Muir, John, John Muir, 1938, John of the Mountains, Linnie Marsh Wolfe, Sierra Club, 92, Inglés http://vault.sierraclub.org/john_muir_exhibit/writings/mountain_thoughts.aspx,

“When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.”

“We all travel the Milky Way together, trees and men.”

They make many journeys, not very extensive ones, it is true; but our own little comes and goes are only little more than tree-wavings — many of them not so much.

“Few places in this world are more dangerous than home. Fear not, therefore, to try the mountain passes. They will kill care, save you from deadly apathy, set you free, and call forth every faculty into vigorous, enthusiastic action.”

John Muir

Fuente: 1890s, The Mountains of California (1894), chapter 5: The Passes <!-- Terry Gifford, EWDB, page 328 -->
Contexto: Accidents in the mountains are less common than in the lowlands, and these mountain mansions are decent, delightful, even divine, places to die in, compared with the doleful chambers of civilization. Few places in this world are more dangerous than home. Fear not, therefore, to try the mountain-passes. They will kill care, save you from deadly apathy, set you free, and call forth every faculty into vigorous, enthusiastic action. Even the sick should try these so-called dangerous passes, because for every unfortunate they kill, they cure a thousand.

“I care to live only to entice people to look at Nature's loveliness.”

“These temple destroyers, devotees of ravaging commercialism, seem to have a perfect contempt for Nature, and, instead of lifting their eyes to the God of the mountains, lift them to the Almighty Dollar.”

The Yosemite http://www.sierraclub.org/john_muir_exhibit/writings/the_yosemite/ (1912), chapter 15: Hetch Hetchy Valley &lt;!-- Terry Gifford, EWDB, page 716 --&gt; <br class="br">1910s <br class="br">Contexto: These temple-destroyers, devotees of ravaging commercialism, seem to have a perfect contempt for Nature, and instead of lifting their eyes to the God of the mountains, lift them to the Almighty Dollar. Dam Hetch Hetchy! As well dam for water-tanks the people&#x27;s cathedrals and churches, for no holier temple has ever been consecrated by the heart of man.

“One learns that the world, though made, is yet being made. That this is still the morning of creation. That mountains, long conceived, are now being born, brought to light by the glaciers, channels traced for coming rivers, basins hollowed for lakes.”
