English activity irony, sarcasm and paradox
passage: beyond them, and around us on every side, were the great himalayas, stretching away through
nepal and tibet. for the closer peaks-giants like lhotse, nuptse and makalu—you now had to look
sharply downward to see their summits. and farther away, the whole sweep of the greatest range on
earth-even kanchenjunga itself-seemed only like little bumps under the spreading sky. it was such a
sight as i had never seen before and would never see again wild, wonderful and temble. but terror was
not what i felt. i loved the mountains too well for that. i loved everest too well. at that great moment for
which i had waited all my life my mountain did not seem to me a lifeless thing of rock and ice, but warm
and friendly and living. she was a mother hen, and the other mountains were chicks under her wings
too, i felt, had only to spread my own wings to cover and shelter the brood that i loved
