"One night after a thunderstorm over the North Rim, while the stars were
still hidden, the moon gave a soft light through which the large landscape
features could be discerned....But I gazed around dreamily, the soft,
soothing voices of the little toads, the chirring of crickets, the faint
distant poor-will, poor-will soon lulled me into peaceful sleep."
