    Rhodora! if the sages ask thee why
    This charm is wasted on the earth and sky,
    Tell them, dear, that if eyes were made for seeing,
    Then Beauty is its own excuse for being:
    Why thou wert there, O rival of the rose!
    I never thought to ask, I never knew:
    But, in my simple ignorance, suppose
    The self-same Power that brought me there brought you.

    If I must choose which I would elevate
    The people or the already lofty mountains,
    I’d elevate the already lofty mountains.

    Is that her mountains aren’t quite high enough.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
