"I prefer the saddle to the streetcar and star-sprinkled sky to a roof,
the obscure and difficult trail, leading into the unknown, to any paved highway,
and the deep peace of the will to the discontent bred by cities…
it is enough that I am surrounded with beauty."
—Everett Ruess

EVERETT RUESS: DESERT EXPLORER, ARTIST, AND POET
What Everett was after was beauty, and he conceived beauty in pretty
romantic terms. We might be inclined to laugh at the extravagance of his
beauty-worship if there were not something almost magnificent in his
single-minded dedication to it. Esthetics as a parlor affection is ludicrous
and sometimes a little obscene; as a way of life it sometimes attains dignity.
If we laugh at Everett Ruess we shall have to laugh at John Muir, because there
was little difference between them except age.
—Wallace Stegner, Mormon Country, 1942
