One cannot describe Mount Rainier, one cannot describe the 

 Grand Canyon, one cannot describe his beloved Yosemite : 

 humanity is silent in their presence. So it was with John Muir 

 to all who knew him; so has his influence affected mankind, 

 and so will his life and work impress generations to come. This 

 most wonderful of men, lifted above death and time by his hu- 

 man sympathy no less than by his genius, will forever influence 

 the world, and it will be the better for his example and his in- 

 spiration.
