Color Dark Violet

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

    “It is never the thing but the version of the thing:
    The fragrance of the woman not her self,
    Her self in her manner not the solid block,
    The day in its color not perpending time,
    Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
    The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “butter fat goosegirls, bounced in a gambo bed,
    Their breasts full of honey, under their gander king
    Trounced by his wings in the hissing shippen, long dead
    And gone that barley dark where their clogs danced in the spring....”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “perpetually crouched, quivering, upon the
    sternly allotted sandpile
    Mhow silently
    emit a tiny violet flavoured nuisance: Odor?

    o no.
    comes out like a ribbon lies flat on the brush”
    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)
