Blue Celestial

Famous quotes containing the words blue and/or celestial:

    “One way to do it might be by making the scenery penetrate the automobile. A polished black sedan was a good subject, especially if parked at the intersection of a tree-bordered street and one of those heavyish spring skies whose bloated gray clouds and amoeba-shaped blotches of blue seem more physical than the reticent elms and effusive pavement. Now break the body of the car into separate curves and panels; then put it together in terms of reflections.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “The screen of supreme good fortune curved his absolute smile into a celestial scream.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
