It was a bird. a bird struggling through stickiness: a bird coated in paint, floundering in its nest, splashing color everywhere. red. red. red. dozens of them: black feathers coated thickly with crimson-colored paint, fluttering among the branches. red means run.

Without feathers it isn't easy to fly: my wings have got no feathers. [lat., sine pennis volare hau facilest: meae alae pennas non habent.] [alt., flying without feathers is not easy; my wings have no feathers.]

Iron and coal dominated everywhere, from grey to black: the black boots, the black stove-pipe hat, the black coach or carriage, the black iron frame of the hearth, the black cooking pots and pans and stoves. was it a mourning? was it protective coloration? was it mere depression of the senses? no matter what the original color of the paleotechnic milieu might be it was soon reduced by reason of the soot and cinders that accompanied its activities, to its characteristic tones, grey, dirty-brown, black.

Bastian had climbed a dune of purplish-red sand and all around him he saw nothing but hill after hill of every imaginable color. each hill revealed a shade or tint that occured in no other. the nearest was cobalt blue, another was saffron yellow, then came crimson red, then indigo, apple green, sky blue, orange, peach, mauve, turquoise blue, lilac, moss green, ruby red, burnt umber, indian yellow, vermillion, lapis lazuli, and so on from horizon to horizon. and between the hill, separating color from color, flowed streams of gold and silver sand.

White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'

A few days back someone sent me two feathers. two bird's feathers in a sheet of note-paper with a coronet, and fastened with a seal. sent from a place a long way off; from one who need not have sent them back at all. that amused me too, those devilish green feathers.
