Slowish going, as Ruskin continues to run the rivers of his prose into maddeningly tightening spirals and countercurrents. Know this is far from autobiography, lest he have us believe he spent all his life among Swiss snow-capped aiguilles and vale's grasses that grow directly before one's eye.

Steamrolling.... Ruskin is still in his 20s, writing, traveling, drawing, handling geological specimens, and suffering bouts of nervous fever.

Ruskin on the preeminence of Byron -- for whom a glacier is a glacier -- greater than Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, and Locke.
