I love rainbows too, Daffy, both physically and symbolically - so here's a couple more "rainbowisms" to help "bridge that chasm" between Science and the (so-called) "New Age";

Karla's problem reminds me of a rainbow. A rainbow could be perceived as bands of VERY different colored light presented side by side, in harmony, to form a unified whole - or it could be perceived as those same bands of very different colored light side by side in raging conflict, forced by the uncaring hand of nature to present together as a unified whole.

- yours truly, on the other thread Stilly linked to.


We have not the reverent feeling for the rainbow that the savage has, because we know how it is made. We have lost as much as we gained by prying into that matter.
(A Tramp Abroad)

One can enjoy a rainbow without necessarily forgetting the forces that made it.
(Queen Victoria's Jubilee)
