Description
On the licence plates in New Mexico it reads: 'The Land of Enchantment.' And that is it, by God! There's a huge rectangle which embraces parts of four states--Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona--and which is nothing but enchantment, sorcery, illusionismus, phantasmagoria. Perhaps the secret of the American continent is contained in this wild, forbidding and partially unexplored territory. It is the land of the Indian par excellence. Everything is hypnagogic, chthonian and super-celestial. Here Nature has gone gaga and dada. Man is just an irruption, like a wart or a pimple. Man is not wanted here. Red men, yes, but then they are so far removed from what we think of as man that they seem like another species. --Henry Miller, The Air-Conditioned Nightmare
