The heaventree of stars hung with humid nightblue fruit.James Joyce, Ulysses (1922)
What do you think this looks like? I have an image in my mind but I have not been able to find a representation that fits. The words are beautiful.

The first thing that came to mind when I read the word nightblue is Van Gogh's vibrant, verberate painting, Starry Night.
Even the hanging gold orbs remind me of fruit.
Just wanted you to know... I just posted directing to your site.:-) Welcome back friend!
Oh! Thanks momrn2. I wondered where all that traffic was coming from. It's nice to be back, exchanging comments with you guys again! Thank you for dropping in over here. I like it when you do.
Nice association, Kim. Starry night is a great painting. I really like how you describe the hanging gold orbs as fruit. I hadn't thought of them like that till now, but you're right!
Isn't that gorgeous? I like the "heaventree of stars."
Reminds me of Job 38:37
Who can number the clouds by wisdom?
Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens,
I like that verse!
