Ruby-colored trees and a sky of orange

“[T]here was a garden, a tangled and wild garden one could get lost in. And there were colored glass windows and through the core of the designs, a button of multicolored glass, one could see a prismatic, colored world in oranges, blues, water-greens, rubies. I kept my eye glued to those stones for hours, loooking at this prismatic world. Another world. It was my first sight of another world. Colors. Ruby-colored trees and a sky of orange.”
