"No water, no life.
No blue, no green."
Sylvia Earle︎
"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year.
Do you suppose," the Walrus said,
"That they could get it clear?"
"I doubt it," said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.
Lewis Carroll
Et puis sous les cieux
Qui s’y rient plus clairs,
Elle a des airs bleus,
Roses, gris et verts…
Plus belle que tous,
Meilleure que nous !
Paul Verlaine
