When the goal is the summit, no one has eyes to see the mountain as anything more than a simple path to the goal. And yet, the summit, with all its magnificent sense of conquest and the wonderful panorama of the world it offers from up there, is nothing more than the final edge of the colossal and awe-inspiring mass of the mountain that stretches below. Even when we say that the path to the summits is worth more than their conquest - which is true - yes, even then, we leave the mountain itself on the sidelines of our thoughts. But the mountain is almost everything, something much bigger and stronger than the path and the summit. Without it, there would be neither path nor summit. So, this very mountain will now become for us the symbol of a truly secret and forbidden knowledge. A fundamental key.
