"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)
