“I want some red roses for a blue lady.
Mister Florist, take my order please.
We had a silly quarrel the other day;
I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away.”

Withers once more the old blue flower of day:
There where the ether like a diamond glows
Its petals fade away.”

“Here's the lily, here the rose
Her full chalice shall disclose;
Here's narcissus wet with dew,
Windflower and the violet blue.
Wear the garland I have made;
Crowned with it, put pride away;
For the wreath that blooms must fade;
Thou thyself must fade some day, Rhodocleia.”

Maurice Baring (1874–1945) English writer

"The Garland", from Orpheus in Mayfair and Other Stories and Sketches.

“My son Robert, the scientist, told me at dinner that blue is not blue. That what we call blue is actually something that absorbs all other energy frequencies and rejects blue. Our eyes see the frequencies cast off as blue and we call it blue. I wondered, are we defined by the things we are, or the things we reject?”

Stephen Tobolowsky (1951) actor and writer
