But he liked it, somehow one knew he liked it, knew that he was listening down there in the dusk. Perhaps Charlotte knew it, too. The vibrant twang slowed to richer chords, broke into rippling chromatic, caught a new measure, a minor note, and her contralto began: "I am going far away, far away to leave you now, To the Mississippi River I am going "
Besides having been a poet and giving vibratory expression to the concrete, he was something else he was a pioneer. Pioneer because in youth he had bowed to the tyranny of the diatonic scale and savored the illicit joys of the chromatic. It is briefly curious that Chopin is regarded purely as a poet among musicians and not as a practical musician.
But that which absolutely fascinated the eye in this great apartment was a huge circle high on the wall opposite the entrance door, like a great clock face, or the rose window of a cathedral, from which poured trembling streams of colored light. "Chromatic music, once more," said Edmund, in a subdued voice. "Do you know, that has a strange effect upon my spirits, situated as we are.
The little black winter bud grew warm-coloured above, and burst suddenly into extravagant outlines and chromatic confusion. Harringay, who is a cad, first put what we were all feeling into words.

It was that chromatic sort of a morning when the canvas of the sailing-boats stands out startlingly white against the drizzly sky and the smoke from the stacks of the steamers takes on an accented coal-black, and, drooping, trails low in a murky wake. Rather a dull setting at this early hour; but not sufficiently dull to check the vivacity of the actors in the scene.
Or rather, call it 'visiplate'." "That's a good word. Mart, take a look if you want to see a set of perfect lenses and prisms." Crane looked into the visiplate and gasped. The vessel had disappeared he was looking directly down upon the Earth below him! "No trace of chromatic, spherical, or astigmatic aberration," he reported in surprise.
