The famous elevation called the Sneehaettan-"Snow Hat"-forms a part of this Alpine range, and is one of the loftiest in Norway, falling little short of eight thousand feet in altitude.
"Due North or Glimpses of Scandinavia and Russia"
Maturin M. Ballou
It is precisely the point where the highest natures and the lowest sometimes apparently meet; since to act in opposition to custom may be due to the loftiest motives-may be the spiritual exaltation of the reformer, braving social ostracism for the sake of an idea, or may spring, on the other hand, from purely rebellious promptings of an anti-social egoism, which recognises no law higher than that of personal gratification.
"George Eliot"
Mathilde Blind
If he fails to move by the loftiest means, he will gradually resort to the lower in order to effect his purpose.
