Crimson Quotes - Page 3

• The cardinal points are a direct reference to the astrological colures. The Cardinals surround the Pope as the cardinal points surround the sun. The sun casts its rays on the Houses as it passes, turning them crimson. The color worn by the physical Cardinals is red, to symbolize that they are illuminated by their proximity to the Pope, the representative of God on earth. The word Pope, may also be a derivative of the word in Egyptian for the evil serpent Apep, Apophis or Apopsa (See Poop Deck and Pupa, and Pepsi, Pepsid, Dr. Pepper, Sgt. Pepper, etc,).

• Bastian had climbed a dune of purplish-red sand and all around him he saw nothing but hill after hill of every imaginable color. Each hill revealed a shade or tint that occured in no other. The nearest was cobalt blue, another was saffron yellow, then came crimson red, then indigo, apple green, sky blue, orange, peach, mauve, turquoise blue, lilac, moss green, ruby red, burnt umber, Indian yellow, vermillion, lapis lazuli, and so on from horizon to horizon. And between the hill, separating color from color, flowed streams of gold and silver sand.

• There were so many miracles at work: that a blossom might become a peach, that a bee could make honey in its thorax, that rain might someday fall.

• Cookbooks, it should be stressed, do not belong in the kitchen at all. We keep them there for the sake of appearances; occasionally, we smear their pages together with vibrant green glazes or crimson compotes, in order to delude ourselves, and any passing browsers, that we are practicing cooks; but in all honesty, a cookbook is something you read in the living room, or in the bathroom, or in bed.

I knew something was going to happen.

• A SWEET disorder in the dress
  Kindles in clothes a wantonness :
  A lawn about the shoulders thrown
  Into a fine distraction :
  An erring lace which here and there
  Enthrals the crimson stomacher :
  A cuff neglectful, and thereby
  Ribbons to flow confusedly :
  A winning wave (deserving note)
  In the tempestuous petticoat :
  A careless shoe-string, in whose tie
  I see a wild civility :
  Do more bewitch me than when art
  Is too precise in every part.
