Long before I ever saw the
desert
I was aware of the mystical overtones which the observation of nature made audible to me. But I have never been more frequently or more vividly aware of them than in connection with the
desert

The flowers never waste their sweetness on the
desert
air or, for that matter, on the jungle air. In fact, they waste it only when nobody except a human being is there to smell it. It is for the bugs and a few birds, not for men, that they dye their petals or waft their scents.

desert
is not to have known one's self. Not to have known one's self is to have known no one.
