the shore, the mountain, the valley or the plains, whereas these invite action and suggest limitless
opportunity and exhaust less resources, the implications and the mood of the desert are
something different. For one thing , the desert is conservative not radical. It is more likely to
provide awe than to invite conquest. The heroism which it encourages is the heroism of
endurance, not that of conquest. It brings man up against this limitation, turns him upon himself
and suggests values which more indulgent regions suppress. Sometimes it includes
contemplation in men who have never contemplated before : And of all the answers to the
