As an American writer..

I am not into comparing my country with others.  It is haunted by certain kinds of characters unique to this soil.  For me the soil is very much alive to me.  I know I don't own the land here, but I feel a strong kinship to it.  I feel that there are many sacred places here.  The local Indians could have become more like the Navaho Indians, but I believe this land was more important than being "Advanced' or "Warlike."  As I understand it the Indians here strove to be in very close harmony with Nature.  I mean that this was not an easy enterprise.  These people were trying to master a way of life and being.
