“Hvad ere en Naturbeskrivelse andet end en Oversaettelse? Endogså den meest vellykkede staaer ligesaalangt under Originalen som Himmelbjerget i Jylland under Himmelbjerget i Thibet. Derfor gunstige Læser! hav mig undskyldt, naar jeg ikke fortæller Dig alt hvad jeg her saae. Hvad jeg saae kunde jeg maaskee sige Dig: men hvorledes jeg saae det? Neppe! – Enkelthederne kunde jeg fremstille Dig een efter en anden, men Heelheden – alt paa eengang? – dertil – om “Du endog har Oere, har Tungen ikke Ord.” Min Pen er ingen Pensel. Rejs! Rejs selv til Himmelbjerget, og see!”
