A cuppa chai is what's missing. You seem like me - I like jacaranda trees too. I was teaching in a place called Rishi Valley, a residential school and there were many jacaranda trees and even a hostel was named jacaranda house.<br /><br />You are indeed lucky to have visited that museum. It is on my list as well but now, I wonder if anyone would dream of travelling.<br /><br />Coleridge and Wordsworth wrote The Preface to the Lyrical Ballads in 1798 where in one of the places, he roughly discusses words and meanings. I think there he mentions that each word is unique and cannot be substituted or something like that. I don't get the exact words.<br /><br />Hopping over to your blog now.S.

With regard to purple, I've read that violet comes close to blue and purple comes close to red in the hue spectrum, and they are very much distinct, as you had mentioned.Kaushik Ghttps://kaushikgovind.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-63498956987934017552020-05-01T15:42:51.335+05:302020-05-01T15:42:51.335+05:30Words are not enough Susannah but only the Creator...Words are not enough Susannah but only the Creator can tell about the so many hues that lie in the color spectrum. VIBGYOR is what is visible and we also have names like lilac, mauve, apart from violet and purple too. i adore the colors of Jacaranda, Wisteria, Lavender flowers for even when i think i was not born so much so that i think in my previous birth i was a Jacaranda tree. Something about the color call it by any human name be it purple, or violet or mauve or lilac has a profound impact on me. <br />Museums are fascinating but not for all. Same thing about blogging and bloggers. The last time i visited any such was the Monet Museum Paris and while i wanted to dwell and know more than the famous waterlilies my friends just wouldn't be bothered by the nuances of the painting or the painter. Different strokes for different folks.<br />There are cool colors and i think Violet/Purple/Lavender/Mauve/lilac call it anything but it has some kind of calming or stunning into serenity kind of a feeling that it induces on many people. Especially me. <br />There is a saying in Hindi आँख का अंधा नाम नयनसुख ( aankh ka andha naam nayansukh) which means having attributes quite opposite to the name. <br />i love Violet as a name too. Enjoyed reading the bit about Violet aunty. <br />i have in my life encountered many who don't live up to what their name stands for. The good thing is you still remember them. <br />Accha as we are conversing about so many aspects i have this hopeless urge to share. This is about blue not just being blue but a special blue.'Cerulean'. Thanks to this i have a human name for this blue. Here it is from Devil Wears Prada :https://youtu.be/awmyDjY-8e8.'<br />... That blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs''<br />You never know Susannah what will take the world's fancy. But when we are told that a particular celebrated thing is Violet then violet it is. <br />Also please enlighten me on what Coleridge said first. i don't know if i know. Help me. <br />Wish you many more conversation provoking blogs like this. <br />Cheers!Shivani Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08693724458955705943noreply@blogger.com
