[ naquela amarela ]

consider yellow, for example. We may try to define it, by describing its physical equivalent; we may state what kind of light-vibrations must stimulate the normal eye, in order that we may perceive it. but a moment’s reflection is sufficient to shew that those light-vibrations are not themselves what we mean by yellow. they are not what we perceive. indeed, we should never have been able to discover their existence, unless we had first been struck by the patent difference of quality between the different colours. the most we can be entitled to say of those vibrations is that they are what corresponds in space to the yellow which we actually perceive. 

Moore, G.E. (1873-1958), in Chapter I: The Subject-Matter of Ethics., Principia Ethica (1903)

so, how do you perceive yellow?

dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.
Steinem, G.

[ Late October ]

Carefully
the leaves of autumn
sprinkle down the tinny
sound of little dyings
and skies sated
of ruddy sunsets
of roseate dawns
roil ceaselessly in
cobweb greys and turn
to black
for comfort.

Only lovers
see the fall
a signal end to endings
a gruffish gesture alerting
those who will not be alarmed
that we begin to stop
in order to begin
again.

Angelou, M. (1928-2014)
