nothing in the appearance of the plains
to lead one To suppose that they tilt up

it is. But part of its enormous good
fortune is that althoughit is "a plain city
it has the mountains for near neighbors
"a long peaked and Scalloped line Of
purple or pink or blue or Snowclad green,

There are 900 miles or more of the Rock

are but Sc cloudy days in the year, and
as these mountains elevate and inspire
even the dullest souls, think we can
forget that it is city Of the plains and
ever associate it with the mountains
