The Grand Canyon: Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in Stone and Magic Light

“There is of course no sense at all in trying to describe the Grand Canyon. Those who have not seen it will not believe any possible description. Those who have seen it know that it cannot be described . . . It is not a show place, a beauty spot, but a revelation. The Colorado River made it; but you feel when you are there that God gave the Colorado River its instructions. The thing is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in stone and magic light." J. B. Priestly [Photo: D.F.G. Hailson]
