Famous quotes containing the words secret and/or blue:

    The great secret is no secret
    Senses fit the winds,
    Visible is visible,
    rain-mist curtains wave through the bearded vale,
    grey atoms wet the wind’s Kaballah
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    Two wooden tubs of blue hydrangeas stand at the foot of the stone steps.
    The sky is a blue gum streaked with rose. The trees are black.
    The grackles crack their throats of bone in the smooth air.
    Moisture and heat have swollen the garden into a slum of bloom.
    Pardie! Summer is like a fat beast, sleepy in mildew....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
