Purple —is fashionable twice—
This season of the year,
And when a soul perceives itself
To be an Emperor.
Emily Dickinson, 980.

Tyrian
Inspiration out of this post by Amber. A tribute to the most uncommon of the nature's colours, and for some unclear reason, a source of obsession for me. The image is supposed to be a marine snail spitting his ink, or sommmething. With that ink was produced the expensive colour that was used by the royalty and the powerful; but the poem is much deeper than that.

I wear purple everyday.
Easy: you belong to the royalty, (one day come to us all to act in complete consequence and responsability of our colours). ;-)
Very pretty its much like a flower of sorts. Thank your for the comment it was much appreciated.
Glad you like both, sometimes I can be tactless without noticing.
