"RED is the most joyful and dreadful thing in the physical universe; it is the fiercest note, it is the highest light, it is the place where the walls of this world of ours wear thinnest and something beyond burns through.

It stands for all passionate happiness, as in faith or in first love." -G. K. Chesterton
