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)

    “But the dark changed to red, and torches shone,
    And deafening music shook the leaves; a troop
    Shouldered a litter with a wounded man,
    Or smote upon the string and to the sound
    Sang of the beast that gave the fatal wound.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “A violet in the youth of primy nature,
    Forward, not permanent, sweet, not lasting.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
