• Enrico Fermi was, of all the great physicists of
  the 20th century, among the most respected and
  admired. He was respected and admired because of
  his contributions to both theoretical and
  experimental physics, because of his leadership
  in discovering for mankind a powerful new source
  of energy, and above all, because of his personal
  character.

you sometimes want to climb some peak but there
is fog everywhere you have your map or some
other indication where you probably have to go
and still you are completely lost in the fog.
Then all of a sudden you see, quite vaguely in
the fog, just a few minute things from which you
say, Oh, this is the rock I want.
18
In the very moment that you have seen that, then
the whole picture changes completely, because
although you still dont know whether you will
make the rock, nevertheless for a moment you say,
Now I know where I am I have to go closer to
that and then I will certainly find the way to go

So long as I only see details, as one does on any
part of mountaineering, then of course I can say
all right, I can go ahead for the next 15 yards,
or 100 yards, or perhaps one kilometer, but still
I dont know whether this is right or may be
completely off the real track.

On May 4, when Colonel Pash, leading a small US
detachment, came to take me prisoner, I felt like
an utterly exhausted swimmer setting foot on firm
land.

Snow had fallen during the night, and as I left,
the spring sun shone down upon us out of a dark
blue sky, spreading its brilliant glow over the
snowy landscape. When I asked one of my American
captors, who had fought in many parts of the
world, how he liked our mountain lake, he told me
it was the most beautiful spot he had ever seen.
23
What pains, what love, what memories, what
primitive emotions he must have gone through in
crafting this understated piece of literature
thirty years after the event!
