Surely he means it as a state of mind. But he means it as more/less. <br /><br />I do like his last sentence. "My own desert places"... that is someplace I go at 2:43 a.m. when I can't sleep, when I am staring into the darkness/the desert of night. <br /><br />I wonder what Edward Abbey would have had to say to Frost. Hmmmm... seems this comment has come full circle.Brenda's Arizonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880225110712592548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883979841111173610.post-59251207787537394142011-04-03T12:30:59.510-04:002011-04-03T12:30:59.510-04:00AH, "disingenuous" is a fascinating word...AH, "disingenuous" is a fascinating word to apply to art.
