Hamlin Garland thus describes a storm in the
Canyon. The whole vast chasm was roofed with
masses of grey clouds ranked closely and hurrying
swiftly, all the distracting lines of the Canyon were
lost and the haphazard coloring was made harmon-
ious by deep blue curtains of mist. Here was a
new phase of the Canyon. I began to understand
it had a thousand differing words. It is like a
mountain range, a cloud today, a wall of marble
tomorrow. When the light falls into it it is harsh,
but the storm will transform it into a splendor no
mountain range can surpass. Peaks will shift and
glow, walls darken, crags take fire, and gray green
mesas take on the gleam of opalescent lakes of
mountain water."
