BLU E

Blue

more than a color it is wonder

Stare into the steadiness of blue,

along the soft curves of the cliff,

to where the path becomes a leap,

Here the waves, kiss the shore.

14 - 4620 Island Blue

I like the sense of something is far away.

19 - 4045 Lapis Blue

The sweet blue thrumps of something is elsewhere.

To live by the blue water, is a daily reminder of distance, towards the edge and finding the constant beckoning of the horizon lines.

56 - 1520

Morning Blue

Here blueness is a kind of hope, the day is yet unformed, still filled with possibility.

In age of consumerism and materialism, I traffic in blue sky and colored air.

- James Turrell

141 - 164179

City Blue

Drink the evening blue Unfolding in front of you

Oh I loved you then And I think you knew

38 -64105

Evening Blue

If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.

- Eleonora Duse

68 - 81145

Boundless Blue

I love to soar in the boundless sky.

In the vast emptiness of the blue, my soul rejoices listening,

to the soundless music of the wind.

- Banani Ray

31 - 3381

Prussian Blue

The blue Mt. Fuji is a metaphor of devotion and symbol of eternal life, it proposes the meditations on ideas of

immortality and identity for both an artist and a nation.

37 - 4290

International Klein Blue

Wolrd’s most expensive blue by Barnett Newman that features a field of blue paint crossed by a ragged white line

sold last night for $43.8 million.

Starry, starry night

Flaming flowers that brightly blaze Swirling clouds in violet haze

Reflect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue

86 - 147207

Vincent’s Blue

Starry, starry night

Paint your palette blue and gray

The Two sisters is an example of how Picasso used to mix daily reality with Christian iconography.

The posture and gestures of the women were derived from the way artists depict the visitation, the blue symbolizes Mary, the Mother of God.

20 - 4673

Picasso’s Blue

I walk through this city of blue Writing books of unwritten verse From simple, daily, conversations Jotted down on cheap notepads A couple walks together, same routine Adopted from uncounted years, together Beats of a jazz quartet, pouring from an open door Echoing down empty hallways, finding my ears by chance I’ll keep walking, through this blue city, until I find you once again I wrote a letter to you, my love, to this day its not been sent - Blue City by Patrick Kennon

Morocco Blue

Standin’ at de winder, Feelin’ kind o’ glum,

Listenin’ to de raindrops 36 - 68143

Laurence Blue

Play de kettle drum,

Lookin’ crost de medders Swimmin’ lak a sea;

Lawd ‘a’ mussy on us,

What’s de good o’ me?

Can’t go out a-hoein’, Wouldn’t ef I could;

Groun’ too wet fu’ huntin’, Fishin’ ain’t no good.

Too much noise fo’ sleepin’, No one hyeah to chat; Call in Uncle Isaac, Call Aunt Hannah, too, Tain’t no use in talkin’, Chile, I’s sholy blue.

- Blue by Laurence Dunbar

Blue I love you

Blue here is a shell for you

Blue songs are like tattoos

You know I’ve been to sea before Crown and anchor me Or let me sail away

Hey Blue, here is a song for you Ink on a pin

Underneath the skin

An empty space to fill in

- Blue by Joni Mitchell,

51 - 11913

Musical Blue

Inside you’ll hear a sigh A foggy lullaby

There is your song from me

Well there’re so many sinking now You’ve got to keep thinking

You can make it thru these waves Acid, booze, and ass

Needles, guns, and grass

Lots of laughs lots of laughs

Everybody’s saying that hell’s the hippest way to go Well I don’t think so

But I’m gonna take a look around it though 1970

The sky, the sky beyond the door is

121 - 170119 Sky Blue

- Ryan Stiles

And this is perhaps

the power of blue,

that it can be once something inconsolable flushed with promises and rapture, but it is such a manifestation of want.

I sell blue sky and coloured air.
