The mountain

Lintel,1982

Alone, a woman climbs a gigantic mountain.

When she starts, she is confident

the Summit will be reached in a week or two.

She is mistaken.

"She climbs for weeks, months, years -

and still does not reach the Summit.

Can she ever reach it?

Is it there? The one person who might know is a bizzare,

ugly Mountain Man she meets on a lofty trail.

Gradually, tender love develops.

Will they climb on together or settle down

to create a family among the towering slopes?"
