I had come to the canyon with expectations. I wanted to see snowy egrets flying against the black schist at dusk

About This Quote

When you come to a place and expect to see something, but it is not there, you hope that you just missed it. However, when you come to a place and see something unexpected, you can be disappointed or shocked. For example, if you visit the Grand Canyon and expect the canyon walls to be covered in snow, but they are not, you might be disappointed. If you visit the canyon and see black schist instead of snow, you might be shocked.
