Rainbow Ruse

Famous quotes containing the words rainbow and/or ruse:

    and Venus among the fishes skips and is a she-dolphin
    she is the gay, delighted porpoise sporting with love and the sea
    she is the female tunny-fish, round and happy among the males
    and dense with happy blood, dark rainbow bliss in the sea.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    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)
