    u.l. printed: "Long may the visitor loiter upon the verge, \ powerless to shake loose from the charm, tirelessly \ intent upon the silent transformations until the sun \ is low in the west. Then the canyon sinks into \ mysterious purple shadow; darkness falls, and \ should there be a moon, the scene in part revives in \ silver light,a thousand spectral forms projected \ from inscrutable gloom.
