“the sun shone through them, revealing a pattern of interlacing, delicate blue veins, visible through the opaque petals; this added something alive to the flower’s fragility, to its ethereal quality, something almost human, in the way that human can mean frailty and endurance both at the same time.” (exercpt from irène némirovkey’s suite française, 2004)




jean paul gaultier ss 1993


   
“but the core of blue persists, and so it is by night. then the stars hang like lamps from the immense vault. the distance between the earth and them is as nothing to the distance behind them; and that further distance, though beyond colour, last freed itself from blue.” (excerpt from e. m. forster’s a passage to india, 1924)
