There's something so beautiful in coming on one's very inmost thoughts in another. In one way it is one of the greatest pleasures one has.
Olive SchreinerIf Nature here wishes to make a mountain, she runs a range for five hundred miles; if a plain, she levels eighty; if a rock, she tilts five thousand feet of strata on end; our skies are higher and more intensely blue; our waves larger than others; our rivers fiercer. There is nothing measured, small nor petty in South Africa.
