Edward Abbey Clouds Quotations

What ideal, immutable Platonic cloud could equal the beauty and perfection of any ordinary everyday cloud floating over, say, Tuba City, Arizona, on a hot day in June?

Lightning streaks like gunfire through the clouds, volleys of thunder shake the air.

In the afternoon I watch the clouds drift past the bald peak of Mount Tukuhnikivats. (Someone has to do it.)

Music clouds the intellect but clarifies the heart.
