The Color of the Sea

Ruskin:
Waves of clear sea are, indeed, lovely to watch, but are always coming or gone...the ever-answering glow of unearthly aquamarine, ultramarine, violet-blue, gentian-blue, peacock-blue, river-of-paradise blue, glass of a painted windowmelted in the sun and the witch of the Alps flinging the spun tresses of it for ever from her snow.
