explains why FL PasOans like to 60 to Hueco Tanks and
to the White Sands, to climb the mountains
to look across and away to infinity.
Of Niagara falls the poet says in unpoetic business
like prose: at is very restful to give up all effort
at observing human nature and drawing social and
political deductions from trifles and to let oneself
relapse into wide mouthed worship of the wonders of
nature Niagara means nothing. 1t is not leading

It is a very bOyish description; Brookes liked to
drop the poet and pick up the typical robust rather
heavy Englishman that also in his blood. He

Niagara and then concluded by saying that plati-
