Excerpt from Marmion on Rainbows by Sir Walter Scott
To paint the rainbow's varying hues,
Unless to mortal it were given
To dip his brush in dyes of heaven?
- Sir Walter Scott, Marmion
(canto VI, st. 5)
I promised Kae something with Rainbows.
Sir Walter Scott has some amazing works, if you haven't read his quotes or works before, i suggest it.

(For then I stood by Henry’s side)
The Palmer mount, and outwards ride,
Upon the Earl’s own favourite steed:
All sheathed he was in armour bright,
And much resembled that same knight,
Subdued by you in Cotswold fight:
Lord Angus wish’d him speed.’–
The instant that Fitz-Eustace spoke,
A sudden light on Marmion broke;–
‘Ah! dastard fool, to reason lost!’
He mutter’d; ‘Twas nor fay nor ghost
I met upon the moonlight wold,
But living man of earthly mould.–
O dotage blind and gross!
