Mary Austin's prose in Streets of the Mountain, excerpted from her 1903 essay collection Land of Little Rain, beautifully captures the power and spirituality of nature. These mountain byways, well-traveled by water and animals, evoke a sense of purpose and mystery. Austin writes, All mountain streets have streams to thread them, or deep grooves where a stream might run. You would do well to avoid that range uncomforted by singing floods. Her words remind us of the profound beauty, madness, and divinity found in nature's remote landscapes.
