Color Dark Violet

Famous quotes containing the words color, dark and/or violet:

    “All our Concord waters have two colors at least; one when viewed at a distance, and another, more proper, close at hand.... Walden is blue at one time and green at another, even from the same point of view. Lying between the earth and the heavens, it partakes of the color of both.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Lord, I fashion dark gods, too,
    Daring even to give You
    Dark despairing features”
    —Countee Cullen (1903–1946)

    “At the violet hour, the evening hour that strives
    Homeward, and brings the sailor home from sea,
    The typist home at teatime, clears her breakfast, lights
    Her stove, and lays out food in tins.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
