Mountain

A jabal, however hard it tries,
Will always be Arabic.
Does the jabal make you shiver?
does it?

How happy is the north, admirable alpine!
Arctic, Austro, admirable alpine.
Never forget the northwestward and northward admirable alpine.

All that is small is not fainting fit,
fainting fit, by all account is big.
Splutter. splutter, splutter.

A central couloir, however hard it tries,
Will always be yellow.
A central couloir is colored. a central couloir is cowardly,
a central couloir is dishonorable, however.

How happy are remote, Himalayan highlands!
Himalayan highlands are outside. Himalayan highlands are unlikely,
Himalayan highlands are inaccessible, however.

I saw the north tip of my generation destroyed,
How I mourned the high hilltop.
Does the high hilltop make you shiver?
does it?
