peer agreement (net): +3give a rosy glow to Explanation: What is important here is the context, to explain that this remark is addressed to 'the day' — and in this part, specifically the setting sun, which as it goes down tends to produce a warmer, pinkish light (realistically, more orangey). So we can imagine sailing ships, their 'white' sails billowing in the wind and catching this warm light; there is an imagery perhaps of the rounded sails turning pink and recalling the pinkish cheeks of someone who is blushing with embarrassment, or perhaps rather here pleasure. I wonder if there is also a suggestion, with the similarity of the sounds, of a kind of distant allusion to 'brushing' — the setting sun 'brushes' the sails with its pink light, perhaps suggesting the notion of 'passing the message' in a visual way? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 49 mins (2020-11-05 07:43:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Although exaggerated, this is the kind of mage that came to mind when I read these lines: https://st.depositphotos.com/2765196/3307/i/950/depositphoto... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 49 mins (2020-11-05 07:43:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, 'image'! |
