>The parks were intended to be natural cathedrals: protected landscapes where people could worship the sublime.

That reminds me of a story my friend from the UK told me. A native American youngster is taken to a cathedral, and when he asked what the purpose of the building is his guide told him that it was for worshipping. The child then led the guide out into the wilderness to a very majestic scene, and told the guide "this is where we worship."
