In its purest form it carries its bright nature in itself/ and is of light, spirited, slightly provoking character.../So it is generally known that yellow makes a warm and cozy impression./Goethe/--Farbenlehre

An Ancient Custom
Collecting 8000 saffron flowers
bring about 100 g
of dried brownish red filaments,
from which the yellow dye
crocin can be extracted.
Saffron dyed mummy bandages
document the use of saffron
in Ancient Egypt.

Monsigneur Love
How many time do I love, again?
Tell me how many beads there are
In a silver chain
Of evening rain
Unravelled from the trembling main
And threading the eye of a yellow star:--
So many time do I love again.

The Mirror
Yellow as a goat's wise and wicked eyes,
yellow as a hill of daffodils,
yellow as dandelions by the highway,
yellow as butter and egg yolks,
yellow as a school bus stopping you,
yellow as a slicker in a downpour.

Wrapped in a veil of yellow gauze.

There are painters who
transform the sun into a yellow spot,
but there are others who,
transform a yellow spot into the sun.
