Sunset/colors

Famous quotes containing the words sunset and/or colors:

    ...stare into the lake of sunset as it runs
    boiling, over the west past all control
    rolling and swamps the heartbeat and repeats
    sea beyond sea after unbearable suns;
    think: poems fixed this landscape: Blake, Donne, Keats.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    In Haydn’s oratorios, the notes present to the imagination not only motions, as, of the snake, the stag, and the elephant, but colors also; as the green grass.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
