Quis color ille vadis, seras cum propulit umbras
Hesperus et viridi perfudit monte Mosellam!
tota natant crispis iuga motibus et tremit absens
pampinus et vitreis vindemia turget in undis.
--
What colour are they now, thy quiet waters? The evening star has brought the evening light, And filled the river with the green hillside; The hill-tops waver in the rippling water, Trembles the absent vine and swells the grape In thy clear crystal.

"Mosella", line 192; translation from Helen Waddell Mediaeval Latin Lyrics ( 1943) p. 31.Ausonius
Quis fuit, horrendos primus qui protulit enses?
quam ferus et vere ferreus ille fuit!Tibullus
Serás lo que debas ser o si no no serás nada.
Jose de San Martin
Ille mi par esse Deo videtur,
ille, si fas est, superare Divos,
qui sedens adversus identidem te
spectat et audit
dulce ridentem.Gaius Valerius Catullus
I make a little mystique for myself. Since I have no preference or so-called sense of color, I could take almost everything that could be some accident of a previous painting. Or I set out to make a series. I take, for instance, some pictures where I take a color, some arbitrary color I took from some place. Well, this is gray maybe, and I mix the color for that, and then I find out that when I am through with getting the color the way I want it, I have six other colors in it, to get that color; and then I take those six colors and I use them also with this color. It is probably like a composer does a variation on a certain theme. But it isn’t technical, it isn’t just fun.
Willem de Kooning
Dark green is my favorite color. It's the color of nature and the color of money and the color of moss!
