Yet high over the city our line of yellow windows must have contributed their share of human secrecy to the casual watcher in the darkening streets, and i was him too, looking up and wondering. i was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.

I was within and without. simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.

The whole question of pornography seems to me a question of secrecy. without secrecy there would be no pornography. but secrecy and modesty are two utterly different things. secrecy has always an element of fear in it, amounting very often to hate. modesty is gentle and reserved. today, modesty is thrown to the winds, even in the presence of the grey guardians. but secrecy is hugged, being a vice in itself. and the attitude of the grey ones is: dear young ladies, you may abandon all modesty, so long as you hug your dirty little secret.

It's no fun to be yellow. maybe i'm not all yellow. i don't know. i think maybe i'm just partly yellow and partly the type that doesn't give much of a damn if they lose their gloves. one of my troubles is, i never care too much when i lose something - it used to drive mother crazy when i was a kid. some guys spend days looking for something they've lost. i never seem to have anything that if i lost it i'd care too much. maybe that's why i'm partly yellow. it's no excuse, though. it really isn't. what you should be is not yellow at all.

Noticing and remembering everything would trap bright scenes to light and fill the blank and darkening past which was already piling up behind me. the growing size of that blank and ever-darkening past frightened me; it loomed beside me like a hole in the air and battened on scraps of my life i failed to claim. if one day i forgot to notice my life, and be damned grateful for it, the blank cave would suck me up entire.
Grateful Past Light

The word itself has another color. it’s not a word with any resonance, although the e was once pronounced. there is only the bump now between b and l, the relief at the end, the whew. it hasn’t the sly turn which crimson takes halfway through, yellow’s deceptive jelly, or the rolled-down sound in brown. it hasn’t violet’s rapid sexual shudder or like a rough road the irregularity of ultramarine, the low puddle in mauve like a pancake covered in cream, the disapproving purse to pink, the assertive brevity of red, the whine of green.
Yellow Color Green
Beauty and the beast seemed like it all was really brown. the whole thing was just so brown and orange and yellow, like burger king or something. i don't think i would have liked beauty and the beast at any age.

Our plenteous streams a various race supply, the bright-eyed perch with fins of tyrian dye, the silver eel, in shining volumes roll'd, the yellow carp, in scales bedropp'd with gold, swift trouts, diversified with crimson stains, and pikes, the tyrants of the wat'ry plains.
