William and Maymie Kimes Annotation
Waiting for ages has been Yosemite for an appreciative observer-waiting to reveal its sacred secret-and few there be that find it. Said John Muir, in his lovely lecture the other evening, to the shallow-eyed tourist, 'You look at El Capitan and El Capitan looks back at you, and you know nothing about it!' "" Concerning Muir's lecture, the writer comments, ""John Muir's loving rehearsal of the testimony of the rocks would charm an audience on the sands of Sahara-how infinitely more delightful in the very theatre of his well-studied facts.""
