WHITE

He was all white, like a doll
that hadn't been painted yet.
Elizabeth Bishop

But pleasures are like poppies spread -
You seize the flow'r, its bloom is shed;
Or like the snow falls in the river -
A moment white - then melts forever.
Robert Burns

The angels are white flaming white and the eye that would confront them shrivels and there's no other way. You've got to become like stone if you want their company and when you look for the miracle you've got to scatter your blood to the wind because the miracle is nowhere but circulating in the veins of man,
Giorgios Sefiriades
