The Sonoran Desert route was his favorite. His friends were surprised he could endure the solitude of it, but he cherished the barren miles. Today he'd passed a mile of verbena in full bloom, followed by ten miles with nothing but sagebrush. The next leg promised cliffs, and he loved to imagine scaling them as he traversed the desolate highway. In fact, one was rising in the distance, and the highway would bear right around it.

The character that says these words is Satan. He is speaking to the other fallen angels.
Explanation:
Before these lines begin, it is said that Satan is going to say the following words "whereto with speedy words th' Arch-fiend repli'd." The "arch-fiend" is like a super enemy, arch (means superior) fiend (enemy).
Two of the main phrases that prove that Satan is talking are the following:
- "<em>To do aught good never will be our task, But ever to do ill our sole delight" </em>= Doing good action will never be our thing, we only find pleasure in doing bad things.
- <em>"As being the contrary to his high will whom we resist"</em> = since we are the contrary of God, the one we resist.
