Rhapsody in Blue

Italy
Antarctica

Why make so much of fragmentary blue
In here and there a bird, or butterfly,
Or flower, or wearing-stone, or open eye,
When heaven presents in sheets the solid hue?

Since earth is earth, perhaps, not heaven (as yet)—
Though some savants make earth include the sky;
And blue so far above us comes so high,
It only gives our wish for blue a whet.

– Robert Frost

Tahiti
Fiji
Mongolia

I have found myself dwelling on the color blue and the way our planet’s elemental hue, the most symphonic of the colors, recurs throughout our literature as something larger than a mere chromatic phenomenon — a symbol, a state of being, a foothold to the most lyrical and transcendent heights of the imagination.

– Maria Popova

Togo
Japan
India

“Blue is light seen through a veil.”

– Henry David Thoreau

Burma
United States
Afghanistan

Blue is the typical heavenly color…
The ultimate feeling it creates is one of rest…”

“I saw in a blue haze all the world poured
flat and pale between the mountains.”

– Annie Dillard

Uzbekistan
Morocco
Mali

“We love to contemplate blue,” Goethe wrote, “not because it advances to us, but because it draws us after it.”

Italy
Afghanistan

Blue is the unspoken language of universality,
seamlessly weaving through the expanse of
sky and the depths of water.

Philippines

“No water, no life. No blue, no green”

– Sylvia Earle

Finding Home

Home should be an oratorio of the memory, 
singing to all our after life melodies and
harmonies of 
old remembered joy.
– Henry Ward Beecher

Herat, Afghanistan

Home is the nicest word there is.
– Laura Ingalls Wilder

Jodhpur, India

Sahel, Africa

Home is where, when you cross its threshold,
you finally feel at peace.
–  Dennis Lehane

Cambodia

Baluchistan, Pakistan

A  home is one of the most sacred of places.
It is a sanctuary into which men flee from the
world’s perils and alarms.
It is a resting-place to which at close of day the weary
retire to gather new strength for the
battle and toils of tomorrow.
It is the place where love learns its lessons,
where life is schooled into discipline and strength,
where character is molded.
– J.R. Miller

Tawi-Tawi, Philippines

Home is where one starts from.

Where thou art, that is home.

Nor need we power or splendor,
wide hall or lordly dome;
the good, the true, the tender-
these form the wealth of home.
– Sarah J. Hale

Karelia, Russia

Home is the place where, when you have to go there,
they have to take you in.

– Robert Frost

Mizoram, India

It takes a lot of living to make a house a home
It doesn’t make any difference how rich you get to be
How much your chairs and tables cost, how great your luxury
It isn’t home to you though it be the palace of a king,
Until somehow your soul is wrapped round everything.
– Paraphrase of Edgar Guest poem, Home

McCurry family home, Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, USA
