"Although cruelly scarred and MUTILATED BY QUARRIES, the Old Man has retained a dignified bearing and still raises his proud and venerable head to the sky. His tears are shed quietly into Low Water and Goats Water, two splendid tarns, whence, in due course... find their way into Coniston's lake, and there bathe his ancient feet." (Alfred Wainwright, "A Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells, Book Four: The Southern Fells")
