• Under the desert sun, in the dogmatic clarity, the fables of theology and the myths of classical philosophy dissolve like mist.

Whirlwinds dance across the salt flats, a pillar of dust by day; the thornbush breaks into flame at night. What does it mean? It means nothing. It is as it is and has no need for meaning. The desert lies beneath and soars beyond any possible human qualification. Therefore, sublime.
