英语词汇cloud mesa的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

cloud mesa. Willa Cather, whose Death Comes for the Arch- bishop (1927) is one of the great American novels, described the mesas in great detail: “One thing which struck him at once was that every mesa was duplicated by a cloud mesa, like a re- flection, which lay motionless above it or moved slowly up from behind it. These cloud formations seemed to be always there, however hot and blue the sky. Sometimes they were dime-shaped, or fantastic, like the tops of silvery pagodas, ris- ing one above another, as if an oriental city lay directly behind the rock. The great tables of granite set down in an empty plain were inconceivable without their attendant clouds, which were a part of them, as the smoke is part of the censer, or the foam of the wave.”
