I heard a voice saying--or got the clear idea of: "There is another side to the mountain." ... There is another side of Kanchenjunga and of every mountain--the side that has never been photographed and turned into postcards. That is the only side worth seeing.The next month, Merton died from accidental electrocution in a hotel room in Bangkok. --Michael Joseph Gross
