I grew up in utopia.”

Orange, magenta, green & brown
The cool crisp breezes in the air,
Autumn season must be here”
Charmaine J Forde

Joris-Karl Huysmans
“Last comes the class of persons, of nervous organization and enfeebled vigour, whose sensual appetite craves highly seasoned dishes, men of a hectic, over-stimulated constitution. Their eyes almost invariably hanker after that most irritating and morbid of colours, with its artificial splendours and feverish acrid gleams,-orange.”
Joris-Karl Huysmans

Rudolfo Anaya
“The orange of the golden carp appeared at the edge of the pond. . . . We watched in silence at the beauty and grandeur of the great fish.

Then with a switch of his powerful tail the golden carp disappeared into the shadowy water under the thicket.”
Rudolfo Anaya, Bless Me, Ultima

Joseph Heller, Catch-22

Show me,show me,

Courtney Milan
“Jenny’s admonition had the desired effect. Ned drew a deep breath and thrust his arm gingerly into the bag, his mouth puckered in distaste. The expression on his face flickered from queasy horror to confusion. From there, it
flew headlong into outright bafflement. Shaking his head, he pulled his fist from the bag and turned his hand palm up.
For a long moment, the two men stared at the offending lump. It was brightly colored. It was round. It was—
“An orange?” Lord Blakely rubbed his forehead. “Not quite what I expected.” He scribbled another notation.
“We live in enlightened times,” Jenny murmured.”
Courtney Milan, Proof by Seduction

Jarod Kintz
“Time is fluid, like the wide sky that fades into bright orange in a sunset in The Ozarks. Every moment is meant to be sipped and savored like a slow mimosa.”

Jarod Kintz
“The sunset reminds me of me as a person. But not the current me. No, the one from before last night, when I was a more orange version of myself.”

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Just a moment ..., I savour this ... ah, but it’s flown already.
... Only a bit of music, stamping in time, humming-:
Girls, you grow warm, - girls, you silently mime, -
Dance the flavour of this fruit as we experience it!

Make of the orange a dance. Who can be oblivious
Of how it drowns in itself, of how it restrains
Its very essence of sweetness, holds it back? It
Has possessed you. You have deliciously converted it into you.

Dance the orange. The warmth of the landscape,
It draws you forth, so that your ripeness streams forth
Resplendent on the local breezes! A glow arising, revealed

Aroma after aroma! Evoke its affinity
With the pure, self-denying peel,
With the juice which joyously fills it!”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Sonnets to Orpheus

“It felt as large as an orange and as heavy as grief.”
Amelia Mellor, The Bookseller's Apprentice

Matt Puchalski, A Pandemic Gardening Journal

Mm! Good stuff, good stuff! Wild-game curry, eh? That dish was way more of a masterpiece than I expected!"
Really! Who would've thought I'd get to try deep-fried duck cutlets! Their robust, gamey flavor paired exquisitely with the curry sauce!

"The strong smelliness of the meat was thoroughly ameliorated by the clever use of turmeric and orange.
In French cuisine, duck is traditionally garnished with an orange sauce."
"True! I added in bits of orange and grated peel into the roux too! It goes awesome with the special garam masala spice mix I put together!”
Yūto Tsukuda, 食戟のソーマ 7 [Shokugeki no Souma 7]

“LOVELY AUTUMN

Sitting by a cozy fireplace,
Watching the leaves fall to the ground,
Orange, yellow, red, purple, gold and brown.”
Charmaine J Forde

Aisha Saeed
“The Golub tree, measuring two hundred feet tall, stood steps away. It was as wide as a redwood, with a thin layer of frost burrowed within its creases. Its plentiful dewdrop leaves created a crown the color of the inside of a cracked papaya, with the branches toward the bottom bare and icy. The limbs of the simple eastern pines surrounding it were coated with tendrils of orange frost.”
Aisha Saeed, Forty Words for Love

“to describe you is like autumn,
as pretty as the orange
as cold as the breeze
but like fall,
I know you'll only wither away.”
Kynna Claire

“FALL

I've never liked orange
not even a hint of yellow
though that doesn't mean I'm derange,
you know.
but it's still a riddle as to why,
you can make me see it like it's aurora borealis in the sky.”
Kynna Claire

“When the mats roll, red means "stop," green means "stop," and yellow also means "stop.”
