The
path
of
its
departure
still
is
free
.
Man
's
yesterday
may
ne'er
be
like
his
morrow
;
Nought
may
endure
but
mutability
!
It
was
nearly
noon
when
I
arrived
at
the
top
of
the
ascent
.
For
some
time
I
sat
upon
the
rock
that
overlooks
the
sea
of
ice
.
A
mist
covered
both
that
and
the
surrounding
mountains
.
Presently
a
breeze
dissipated
the
cloud
,
and
I
descended
upon
the
glacier
.
The
surface
is
very
uneven
,
rising
like
the
waves
of
a
troubled
sea
,
descending
low
,
and
interspersed
by
rifts
that
sink
deep
.
The
field
of
ice
is
almost
a
league
in
width
,
but
I
spent
nearly
two
hours
in
crossing
it
.
The
opposite
mountain
is
a
bare
perpendicular
rock
.
From
the
side
where
I
now
stood
Montanvert
was
exactly
opposite
,
at
the
distance
of
a
league
;
and
above
it
rose
Mont
Blanc
,
in
awful
majesty
.
I
remained
in
a
recess
of
the
rock
,
gazing
on
this
wonderful
and
stupendous
scene
.
The
sea
,
or
rather
the
vast
river
of
ice
,
wound
among
its
dependent
mountains
,
whose
aerial
summits
hung
over
its
recesses
.
Their
icy
and
glittering
peaks
shone
in
the
sunlight
over
the
clouds
.
My
heart
,
which
was
before
sorrowful
,
now
swelled
with
something
like
joy
;
I
exclaimed
,
"
Wandering
spirits
,
if
indeed
ye
wander
,
and
do
not
rest
in
your
narrow
beds
,
allow
me
this
faint
happiness
,
or
take
me
,
as
your
companion
,
away
from
the
joys
of
life
.
"
As
I
said
this
I
suddenly
beheld
the
figure
of
a
man
,
at
some
distance
,
advancing
towards
me
with
superhuman
speed
.
He
bounded
over
the
crevices
in
the
ice
,
among
which
I
had
walked
with
caution
;
his
stature
,
also
,
as
he
approached
,
seemed
to
exceed
that
of
man
.
I
was
troubled
;
a
mist
came
over
my
eyes
,
and
I
felt
a
faintness
seize
me
,
but
I
was
quickly
restored
by
the
cold
gale
of
the
mountains
.
I
perceived
,
as
the
shape
came
nearer
(
sight
tremendous
and
abhorred
!
)
that
it
was
the
wretch
whom
I
had
created
.
I
trembled
with
rage
and
horror
,
resolving
to
wait
his
approach
and
then
close
with
him
in
mortal
combat
.
He
approached
;
his
countenance
bespoke
bitter
anguish
,
combined
with
disdain
and
malignity
,
while
its
unearthly
ugliness
rendered
it
almost
too
horrible
for
human
eyes
.
But
I
scarcely
observed
this
;
rage
and
hatred
had
at
first
deprived
me
of
utterance
,
and
I
recovered
only
to
overwhelm
him
with
words
expressive
of
furious
detestation
and
contempt
.
"
Devil
,
"
I
exclaimed
,
"
do
you
dare
approach
me
?
And
do
not
you
fear
the
fierce
vengeance
of
my
arm
wreaked
on
your
miserable
head
?
Begone
,
vile
insect
!
Or
rather
,
stay
,
that
I
may
trample
you
to
dust
!
And
,
oh
!
That
I
could
,
with
the
extinction
of
your
miserable
existence
,
restore
those
victims
whom
you
have
so
diabolically
murdered
!
"
"
I
expected
this
reception
,
"
said
the
daemon
.
"
All
men
hate
the
wretched
;
how
,
then
,
must
I
be
hated
,
who
am
miserable
beyond
all
living
things
!
Yet
you
,
my
creator
,
detest
and
spurn
me
,
thy
creature
,
to
whom
thou
art
bound
by
ties
only
dissoluble
by
the
annihilation
of
one
of
us
.
You
purpose
to
kill
me
.
How
dare
you
sport
thus
with
life
?
Do
your
duty
towards
me
,
and
I
will
do
mine
towards
you
and
the
rest
of
mankind
.
If
you
will
comply
with
my
conditions
,
I
will
leave
them
and
you
at
peace
;
but
if
you
refuse
,
I
will
glut
the
maw
of
death
,
until
it
be
satiated
with
the
blood
of
your
remaining
friends
.
"
"
Abhorred
monster
!
Fiend
that
thou
art
!
The
tortures
of
hell
are
too
mild
a
vengeance
for
thy
crimes
.
Wretched
devil
!
You
reproach
me
with
your
creation
,
come
on
,
then
,
that
I
may
extinguish
the
spark
which
I
so
negligently
bestowed
.
