From "On The Vision And The Riddle"

Whence come
the highest
mountains?
I once asked.
Then I
learned
that they
came out
of the sea.
The evidence
is written
in their rocks
and in
the walls
of their peaks.
It is out
of the
deepest depth
that the highest
must come to its height.
--Friedrich Nietzsche (from "On The Vision and The Riddle")
