And how can you begin to describe this blue? The indigo/purple of high summer skies on clear nights. I remember, in my student days, slipping out into the darkness and walking the city streets just to be out under such skies.
"This was the best of May - the small brown birds
Wisely reiterating endlessly
What no man learnt yet, in or out of school"
(Edward Thomas - Sedge-warblers)
I wonder if anyone can look at a Primrose and not feel their heart lifted, just a little.
