  Gorges, o'er mountains in snow.

1. The loss of pony transport in March 1911 obliged me to start 
   later than I had intended, and obliged the limits of stuff

  Ceaseless frost round the vast solitude 
  Bound its broad zone of stillness. 
   - SHELLEY.

                     And Thor 
  Set his shoulder hard against the stern 
  To push the ship through... 
  ...and the water gurgled in 
  And the ship floated on the waves and rock'd.

  The ice was here, the ice was there, 
  The ice was all around: 
  It cracked and growled, and roared and howled, 
  Like noises in a swound. 
   - COLERIDGE.

  And the deed of high endeavour 
    Was no more to the favoured few. 
  But brain and heart were the measure 
    Of what every man might do. 
   - RENNELL RODD.
