Rainbow Phantoms

Famous quotes containing the words rainbow and/or phantoms:

    She saw in the rainbow the earth’s new architecture, the old, brittle corruption of houses and factories swept away, the world built up in a living fabric of Truth, fitting to the over-arching heaven.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    How cold the vacancy
    When the phantoms are gone and the shaken realist
    First sees reality. The mortal no
    Has its emptiness and tragic expirations.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
