Arnison Crag - Summit and View

Summit and View

The summit is a low rock tower, attractively seen from the surrounding valleys. There is only a very small cairn due to the lack of available stone. The view is largely restricted by higher fells, but with the Fairfield and High Street fells well seen.

Famous quotes containing the words summit and/or view:

    What if it tempt you toward the flood, my lord,
    Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff
    That beetles o’er his base into the sea,
    And there assume some other horrible form
    Which might deprive your sovereignty of reason,
    And draw you into madness?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist’s relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist’s concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
