Stegner

"Much of the region will never have anything to offer but scenery. But scenery it has in superlative degree and extravagant forms. High Plateaus, Grand Canyon, or sandrock wilderness, the scenery is no raw material exported by a colonial dependency, but the finished product. It is not merely finished, but unparalleled; not merely superlative, but utterly new." (Beyond the Hundredth Meridian by Wallace Stegner)

This part in book is very nice. Because I feel that most of the book has a lot long and complicated words, Stegner puts his fashionation with nature in his own words. Though there are still a few complicated terms, I am able to still feel how he sees nature, and by his saying things in just pretty terms but in his own. You can still how he kind of struggles to say things sometimes, but here he definitely knows how to say what he is feeling or thinking.
