let’s try: Why is it almost impossible to gaze directly at the Grand Canyon
under these circumstances and see it for what it is—as one picks up
a strange object from one’s back yard and gazes directly at it? It is
almost impossible because the Grand Canyon, the thing as it is, has
been appropriated by the symbolic complex which has already been
formed in the sightseer’s mind. Seeing the canyon under approved
circumstances is seeing the symbolic complex head on. The thing is
no longer the thing as it confronted the Spaniard; it is rather that
which has already been formulated—by picture postcard, geography
book, tourist folders, and the words Grand Canyon.
