The Charm of Color 
251 
an inspiring color, and light green a clean color; 
every one knows the influence of bright red upon 
many animals and birds ; it is said all barnyard 
fowl are affected by it. If any one can see a sunny 
bed of blue Larkspur in full bloom without being 
moved thereby, he must be color blind and sound 
deaf as well, for that indeed is a sight full of music 
and noble inspiration, a realization of Keats' beau- 
tiful thought : — 
“ Delicious symphonies, like airy flowers 
Budded, and swell’ d, and full-blown, shed full showers 
Of light, soft unseen leaves of sound divine.”
