Taos Mountain Sky
A quote
from the Sam Peckinpah movie 'Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid'
has remained with me since I first heard it in the early seventies
while I watched the film in a smoke filled cinema in Yorkshire,
England.
Lew
Wallace, Governor of the New Mexico Territory, 1878-1881 (played
by Jason Robards) greets Pat Garrett (played by James Coburn),
"I do hope you enjoy these rainy New Mexican evenings,
they have a fabulous melancholy to them. They bring us closer
to some greater design, ... at least I hope so!" (the
sound of thunder is heard rolling overhead as the scene moves
on)
I'm inclined
to agree when I'm watching skies like this.
Governor
Lew Wallace went on to write Ben Hur in 1880
