The young man knows that he is irretrievably lost. This is no town of cats, he finally realizes. It is the place where he is meant to be lost.

Haruki Murakami
Mountains, according to the angle of view, the season, the time of day, the beholder's frame of mind, or any one thing, can effectively change their appearance. Thus, it is essential to recognize that we can never know more than one side, one small aspect of a mountain.
