Grand Canyon of the Colorado as Earthly City
The Atlantic describes the Grand Canyon as a sublime city of great architecture carved in stone. John Muir’s account contrasts its vast depth of about 6000 feet and width of ten to fifteen miles with a lack of waterfalls. The canyon’s walls are filled with multicolored, fretted cornices, battlements, spires, and towers, making it seem a divine urban landscape rather than a natural gorge. The piece emphasizes the canyon as a world of art and scale unrivaled by other canyons.
