description: And our own dear Monticello where has nature spread so rich a mantle under the eye? mountains forest rocks rivers. With what majesty do we there ride above the storms! How sublime to look down into the workhouse of nature to see her clouds hail snow rain thunder all fabricated at our feet! And the glorious Sun when rising as if out of a distant water just gliding the tops of the mountains and giving life to all nature! - Jefferson to Maria Cosway 1786
