    “Beyond the horizon, or even the knowledge, of the cities along the coast, a great, creative impulse is at work—the only thing, after all, that gives this continent meaning and a guarantee of the future. Every Australian ought to climb up here, once in a way, and glimpse the various, manifold life of which he is a part.”

    Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm LV (l. LV, 21–22)
