I had this lapse...

It turned out she counted her humps as mountains.
Perhaps so, as informed by a reflexive reference,
and for I say Rev. greek MEGA marks reflexivity.

Poets' Corner - Edna St.Vincent Millay - Renascence and Other Poems
[1917]
Renascence
ALL I could see from where I stood
Was three long mountains and a wood;
I turned and looked another way,
And saw three islands in a bay.
So with my eyes I traced the line
Of the horizon, thin and fine,
Straight around till I was come
Back to where I'd started from;
And all I saw from where I stood
Was three long mountains and a wood.
Over these things I could not see;
These were the things that bounded me;
And I could touch them with my hand,
Almost, I thought, from where I stand.
And all at once things seemed so small
My breath came short, and scarce at all.
...(you know why!)...
