Rainbow Ruse

Famous quotes containing the words rainbow and/or ruse:

    Captain, the man of skill, the expert
    Leader, the creator of bursting color
    And rainbow sortilege, the savage weapon
    Against enemies, against the prester,
    Presto, whose whispers prickle the spirit.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    So that the old joy, modest as cake, as wine and friendship
    Will stay with us at the last, backed by the night
    Whose ruse gave it our final meaning.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
