Observe the rays of the sun in the composition of the rainbow, the
colours of which are generated by the falling rain, when each drop in its
descent takes every colour of the bow.
Treatise on Painting (1490s)
The steadfast rainbow in the fast-moving, fast-hurrying hail-mist
What a congregation of images and feelings, of fantastic permanence
amidst the rapid change of tempest - quietness the daughter of storm.
from Anima Poetae (published 1895)
Meanwhile, by what strange chance I cannot tell,
What combination of the wind and clouds,
A large unmutilated rainbow stood Immovable in heaven.
The Prelude by William Wordsworth (1815)
