I think this hill is the lesson of human life; human can learn from this hill the gravity in mentality, the calmness in mind, the liberal mood in heart from the hill as well as all parts of nature; beautiful poetic writing; pleasurable to read all

I say: be done with it. I say: you've got to love that hill. Be wrathful, be impatient that you are not on the hill. Do not forgive yourself or other, though charity is all very well.....this poem is very interesting about the hill and human mentality or character;

normative hill, Do not muse on it from a distance: it's not remote for the view only, it's for sport of climbing. A profound poem. Congratulations

In decent death you flow into another kind of time which is the hill you always thought you knew. An interesting poem that compares different aspects of life with the climbing up a hill. Every uphill task can be made to look simpler.
