13. =hueh= ("a hole in the earth or side of a hill,--they are used for dwellings;" a den, a grotto, a cavern.) Something called =seay= is here said to be spread abroad, or diffused over rocky walls or caves. Williams (p. 796) says that =seay= (or =sie= as it is also spelled) stands for a sketch or design, and adds that it means to draw, to compose, to write. Morrison, in his dictionary, says that =seay= signifies "to paint," etc. Of course there is no use looking for anything so absurd as pictured or painted rocky walls or caves; and we accordingly feel disappointed when the ancient text seems to notice such. The pictures or paint should be "spread abroad" freely or lavishly in the vicinity of caverns, and we know positively that no "paint" or pigment of human composition can be seen on the canyon walls. No artificial pictures are there, and we are compelled to admit that the ancient account here stands falsified. We have, however, found the caves. Music Temple, for instance measures two hundred feet from floor to roof, and is "a vast chamber carved out of the rock." There are caverns in all directions. And the noisy, roaring river is certainly there as well. One explorer says: "Imagine a chasm that at times is less than a quarter of a mile wide and more than a mile deep, the bed of which is a tossing, roaring, madly impetuous flood, winding its way in a sinuous course along =walls= that are =painted= with all the pigments known to nature. What an imposing spectacle!" (n. 46.) Of course we must object that the "walls" are really not walls and that the "paint" so lavishly spread upon them is not paint at all. The ancient assertion is delusive, but equally so is the modern. Just compare them. The Virgin River enters the Colorado, and at the place of junction are the "resplendently =painted= temples and towers of the Virgin. Here the slopes, the serpentine ledges, and the bosses of projecting rock, interlarded with scanty soil, display all the colors of the rainbow, and in the distance may be likened to the =painter's pallete=. The bolder tints are of maroon, purple, chocolate, magenta, and lavendar, with broad bands of white laid in horizontal belts. (n. 47.) Is this so-called "paint" =lavishly= "spread abroad"? Certainly; one section of the mighty and wondrous gorge is known as "the =painted= canyon." Of course the chasm is not really "painted" by artists or human agents, and we need not look for painted cliffs anywhere. Nevertheless modern observers echo the language of the ancients, and we are told today of "the =painting= of the rocks" and of "deep, =painted= alcoves" and "=painted= grottos" (n. 48.)
