"Behind the Tuileries, the sky took on the same colour
as the slates. The trees in the gardens formed two huge masses, tinged
with purple at the top. The gas-lamps were lit; and the Seine, a greenish
colour as far as the eye could see, was torn into strips of silvery silk
by the piles of the bridges."
Gustave Flaubert,
Sentimental Education
