"He turned that way, to the end of having some goal before his eyes, instead of sheer white transcendence; and made toward it with a dash, not remarking an intervening depression of the ground. He could not have seen it, in fact: everything swam before his eyes in the white mist, obliterating contours. When he perceived it, he gave himself to the decline, unable to measure its steepness with his eye." / Thomas Mann / Der Zauberberg
