Quotes by Alan Booth (?)

“The sky too is deep,
the water immeasurably deep.
Of heaven and earth we know nothing
[unnamed poet]”

“The entire area - some 300 square kilometers - is sacred. There are shrines and temples dotted about the slopes, but they merely confirm the sanctity of the land. It is not in the shrines and temples that the gods live, but in the mountains themselves.
[about the Three Holy Mountains of Dewa - Haguro, Gassam, and Yodono]”
