Now, I'm not only lost in the Jungle but begining to become dellirious since I never climbed anything higher than Algonkin-kind mountains and I think I saw a "Brocken Spectre" more than once. Do people need to climb up high mountains and even travel to Germany to experience this optical illusion? Doesn't it, to arise, depend simply on setting/or/rising sun and mist with, perhaps, a view from a bridge or a slope?
from Carolyn to Jansy:
You are surely right. Coleridge didn't know that he only needed to wait for the right atmosphere on, as you say, a bridge or a slope. But perhaps he wanted to go to Germany for the romantic experience?
