coming together of two worlds.

“No greater humiliation, it seems to me, was meted out to any man than Montezuma [1466-1520]; no race was ever more ruthlessly wiped out than the American Indian; no land was ever raped in a bloody and foul way than California was by the gold diggers. I blush to think of our origins—our hands are steeped in blood and crime.” 

― Henry Miller [1891-1980], Tropic of Capricorn
