Outside there was shimmering heat and dry, thirsty sand, miles upon
miles of it flashing by in a gray, barren blur. A flat, arid,
monotonous land, vast, threatening, waterless, treeless. Its
immensity awed, its bleakness depressed. Man's work here seemed but
to accentuate the puny insignificance of man. Man had come upon the
desert and had gone, leaving only a line of telegraph-poles with
their glistening wires, two gleaming parallel rails of burning
steel to mark his passing. The thundering Overland Limited, rushing
onward like a frightened thing, screamed its terror over the desert
whose majesty did not even permit of its catching up the shriek of
the panting engine to fling it back in echoes. The desert ignored,
and before and behind the onrushing train the deep serenity of the
waste places was undisturbed.
