Updated: June 17, 2025

The gray clouds became a long, low swathe of ruby red, or garnet red such as one sees in a glass of heavy burgundy when held to the light. There was such depth to this red! And, below it, separated from the main colour-mass by a line of gray-white fog, or line of sea, was another and smaller streak of ruddy-coloured wine. I strolled across the poop to the port side. "Oh! Come back! Look! Look!"
