And forgetting, startled, she looked for the hovering colour and saw a rainbow forming itself.

And the rainbow stood on the earth. She knew that the sordid people who crept hard-scaled and separate on the face of the worlds corruption were living still, that the rainbow was arched in their blood and would quiver to life in their spirit, that they would cast off their horny covering of disintegration, that new, clean, naked bodies would issue to a new germination, to a new growth, rising to the light and the wind and the clean rain of heaven. She saw in the rainbow the earths new architecture, the old, brittle corruption of houses and factories swept away, the world built up in a living fabric of Truth, fitting to the over-arching heaven."

"Some day Ill wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemondrops Away above the chimney tops, Thats where youll find me. Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly. Birds fly over the rainbow, Why then, oh why cant I?"

"O beautiful rainbow;—all woven of light! Theres not in thy tissue one shadow of night; Heaven surely is open when thou dost appear, And, bending above thee, the angels draw near, And sing,—"The rainbow! the rainbow! The smile of God is here."
