It is an aesthetic of silence and void that governs these places, an aesthetic that encourages direct observation of nature. The peach tree does not have to be taught how to be a peach tree, writes Ezra Pound somewhere. Just so, the desert does not have to be taught how to be a desert, though there are parts of it that we might liken to a gentle kindergarten and others that offer the most rigorous postgraduate training.
