" Of all God's gifts to the sight of man, colour is the holiest, 

 the most divine, the most solemn." Stones of Venice 



" All men, completely organised and justly tempered, enjoy 

 colour ; it is meant for the perpetual comfort and delight of the 

 human heart ; it is richly bestowed on the highest works of 

 creation, and the eminent sign and seal of perfection in them; 

 being associated with life in the human body, with light in the 

 sky, with purity and hardness in the earth death, night, and 

 pollution of all kinds being colourless." Modern Painters
