"[Marsden] Hartley concentrated on his art and ignored the Indian population. If he thought about them at all, he was suspicious or bored with them. But by the end of his stay, in the fall of 1919, he had transformed himself into an authority: he not only felt himself the most important pictorial interpreter of the Western landscape (which, in 1920, he was), but the first poet-anthropologist of the 'Redman,' with a number of essays on the subject to his credit." p.93.

"His lordly disgust with the local cowboy and Indian artists was transparent and unendearing ... Hartley, craving [John] Marin's impersonal style and unable to manage it, stepped all over everyone's feet, going so far as to describe the backwardness of these painters in an article that appeared in a local journal." p.93.

"Unlike Mabel Dodge, with her infatuation with the Indian mystique, and unlike the artists who used Indian subjects to paint another form of Americana, Hartley grew during his months in New Mexico to understand this native phenomenon at a deeper level, and in his writings was one of the first to champion it ... He attended nearly all the tribal dances in Taos and Santa Fe, but unlike John Sloan or Jan Matulka, he did not depict the dances in his painting. One, however, was the subject of a long poem, ‘The Festival of the Corn' (published in Poetry in 1920), which reflects Hartley's fascination with the intermingling of ancient Indian ceremonies and Catholic liturgical rituals." p.66

"Can you recall, dear comrade, when we tramped God's land together,
And we sang the old, old Earth-song, for our youth was very sweet;
When we drank and fought and lusted, as we mocked at tie and tether,
Along the road to Anywhere, the wide world at our feet --

Along the road to Anywhere, when each day had its story;
When time was yet our vassal, and life's jest was still unstale;
When peace unfathomed filled our hearts as, bathed in amber glory,
Along the road to Anywhere we watched the sunsets pale?

Alas! the road to Anywhere is pitfalled with disaster;
There's hunger, want, and weariness, yet O we loved it so!
As on we tramped exultantly, and no man was our master,
And no man guessed what dreams were ours, as, swinging heel and toe,
We tramped the road to Anywhere, the magic road to Anywhere,
The tragic road to Anywhere, such dear, dim years ago."
