I saw defor- med, twisted and overturned trees, mute indications of nature’s inconceivable powerful forces, for the storm’s might and fury. Now all lay calm and still: the stillness of death. I could hear my own rapid breathing. Before me in the distance rose a range of mountains, beautiful and majestic in the moon- light, like petrifed giants. Te scene was the most magnifcent and flled with fantastic stillness that I have ever experienced. Over the white contours of a Nordic winter stretched the sky’s endless vault, flled with myriad glimmering stars. It was like a holy service in a great cathedral.
