Blue Violet

Famous quotes containing the words blue and/or violet:

“The blue and the gray. Let us march together beneath the star- spangled banner.”
—Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)

“It were as wise to cast a violet into a crucible that you might discover the formal principle of its colour and odour, as seek to transfuse from one language into another the creations of a poet. The plant must spring again from its seed, or it will bear no flower—and this is the burthen of the curse of Babel.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
