Edward Abbey
"At times I step to the brink of the mesa and peer down through that awful,
dizzying vacancy to the broken slabs piled along the foot of the wall, so far--so
terribly far--below. It is not impossible that our man might have stumbled off
the edge in the dark, or even --spellbound by that fulfillment of nothingness--eased
himself over, deliberately, in broad daylight, drawn into the void by the beauty
and power of his own terror ..? Gaze not too long into the abyss, lest the abyss
gaze into thee."
