Mist-obscured, the shadow mountains stand-

Ghost of heights submerged, in time forgotten, by the Flood.

Grey silhouettes devoid of substance-

Untouchable they seem, as if upon approach

they might, miragelike, fade away to nothing.

Like drifted snow the banks of clouds

that flank the mountains' sides

seem to dissolve them,

obliterating crevices and stones.

In vain the jagged knives have tried to score the heavens;

their agelong strife is brought to nothing.

Stone, like flesh,

returneth unto dust.

Soft on the wind laments a phantom whisper;

Faint in the clouds the shadow mountains hide.
