Colour

Famous quotes containing the word colour:

    Delicate in colour as apple blossom.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “We dreamed that a great painter had been born
    To cold Clare rock and Galway rock and thorn,
    To that stern colour and that delicate line
    That are our secret discipline
    Wherein the gazing heart doubles her might....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “No one knows the colour of a flower
    till it is broken.”
