"Kemudian matahari pecah di atas puncak bukit-bukit dan seluruh desa tampak berlumuran darah, arroyos yang jauh di bawah bayang-bayang, kerucut gunung berapi yang mati mencolok dan berwarna biskuit di langit. Aku bisa mencium bau pohon pinion, sage basah, cerutu kayu, ternak di padang rumput, dan air sungai yang meleleh dari salju. Saya bisa mencium aroma negara itu ketika itu hanya mimpi di benak Tuhan."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Then the sun broke above the crest of the hills and the entire countryside looked soaked in blood, the arroyos deep in shadow, the cones of dead volcanoes stark and biscuit-colored against the sky. I could smell pinion trees, wet sage, woodsmoke, cattle in the pastures, and creek water that had melted from snow. I could smell the way the country probably was when it was only a dream in the mind of God.
