"It rings as a bell with a middle pitch which calls
for Angelus, like a powerful contralto or like an alto
which is playing largo."

in "Spiritual in art"

stridencies,Silences crossed by Worlds and Angels : O
the Omega, purple ray of His Eyes!"
Rimbaud
BROWN "Son of a fisherman, the ocean
was bound to bring me round -without bends and by accident-
to humility of the terrestrial ground (humus)."

a color of mourning in Occident, black is originally
the symbol of fecundity, like in the ancient Egypt or
in North Africa: color of the fertile soil and color
of clouds swollen by rain."

WHITE "In
the initiatory rites, white is often the color of the
first stage, the one of the
fight against death."
