Description
[The Colorado River], for all its suggestion of blood it is not an unlovely color. On the contrary, that deep red contrasted with the green of the banks and the blue of the sky, makes a very beautiful color harmony. They are the hues of depth and substance-hues that comport excellently well with the character of the river itself. And never a river had more character then the Colorado. You may not fancy the solitude of the stream nor the suggestive coloring, but you cannot deny its majesty and its nobility. It has not now the babble of the brook nor the swift rush of the canyon water; rather the quiet dignity this is above conflict, beyond gayety.
