The Christian Century

The native mountaineering guides in the Hima­layas, known as sherpas, are intimately ac­quainted with the face of Mount Everest. However, they know it only from one side—the view from their home valley. They have been known to respond in disbelief to images of Everest taken from the other sides. Their disbelief changes to one of amazement when they realize that something with which they are so familiar can have other sides to it (from Jacob Bronowski's Science and Human Values).
