Powell Pg. 124
Qoute- "Barren desolation is stretched before me; and yet there is a beauty in the scene. The fantastic carvings, imitating architectural forms and suggesting rude but wierd statuary, with the bright and varied colors of the rocks, conspire to make a scene such as the dweller in verdure-clad hills can scarcely appreciate."
Response-Powell recognized the beauty in nature that he believed others did not or could not notice. His comparison of nature to objects found in an urban setting provides the reader with a mental picture of the scenery he is looking at. This technique also allows the reader to envision the scenery as not just something beautiful to look at, but also as an expansive city that is home to many forms of life.
