Rainbow Ruse

Famous quotes containing the words rainbow and/or ruse:

    The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    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)
