"What is there but a strip of sky and another strip of sand or water? But there is
a simplicity about large masses -  simplicity in breadth, space and distance-
that is inviting and ennobling. And there is something very restful about the horizontal line.
Things that lie flat are at peace and the mind grows peaceful with them."

John C. Van Dyke. The Desert 1901
