"I
think New Mexico was the greatest experience from the outside world that I
have ever had."
D.H. Lawrence
|
*It is all very beautiful and magical here~a quality
which cannot be described. You have to live it and breathe it, let the sun
bake it into you. The skies and land are so enormous, and the detail so
precise and exquisite that wherever you are you are isolated in a glowing
world between the macro and the micro, where everything is sidewise under
you and over you, and the clocks stopped long ago*.
(Ansel Adams, Letters and Images)
*Only the desert has a fascination-- to ride
alone--in the sun in the forever unpossessed country--away from
man.*
(D. H. Lawrence, 1922)
*Brightest New Mexico. In that vivid light each rock
and tree and cloud and mountain existed with a kind of force and clarity
that seemed not natural but supernatural. Yet it also felt as familiar as
home, the country of dreams, the land I had known from the
beginning.*
(Edward Abbey)
* The moment I saw the brilliant, proud
morning sun shine high up over the deserts of Santa Fe, something stood
still in my soul... in New Mexico the heart is sacrificed to the sun"
(D. H. Lawrence)
In New Mexico, the culture flows from
time-honored traditions, ancient peoples and high technology. The
coexistence of diverse tradition, people and technology gives New Mexico
