There, in four letters, lie many different shades—and moods—and objects. The sky is blue, a flimsy, fragile blue. Blue is the color of delicate flowers. There are blue lines on paper to guide hurrying pen points or slow, deliberate moves of a pencil held by a child. A glazed blue vase holds the stiff stalks of lilies. Walls display silver stars or multicolored flowers against a blue background. There are rustling dresses of rough blue taffeta and guiet dresses of a deep, rich, blue velvet. The glass of a perfume bottle is a cold blue. The blankets and clothes of a baby are tiny, soft, blue things. There is the Blue Danube—a romantic river, but also the suggestion of a lovely waltz. People are sometimes blue. There are blue days, gray and dreary. Blue stands for truth. In one place we all love it most. That is the blue field of truth on which forty-eight white stars are emblazoned—the flag of the United States of America. —Peggy Graham Page 16
