The full spelling, however, was Qhpl, for a hill or mound, and came from the verb qhopel for "it swells".
The KJV Old Testament Hebrew Lexicon

                Pink is made:
The lattice of spheres of opal that cause the interference with light are several hundred times larger than the fundamental structure of crystalline silica. As a mineraloid, there is no unit cell that describes the structure of opal. Nevertheless part orange,

under magnification, the patches of color are seen to be arranged in a "lizard skin" or "chicken wire" pattern.

The resulting material is distinguishable from natural opal by its regularity.

"The spirits have sought to fix these fleeting images; they have made a subtle matter by means of which a picture is formed in the twinkling of an eye . . . The mirror represents images faithfully, but retains none; our canvas reflects them no less faithfully, but retains them all . . . and deposited in a dark place . . . no art can imitate its truthfulness."
Giphantie 1760

Goldenrod

"Wherefore this Emperour lefft the light years still burning wheare it shall burne still at this daye, which is a great secret in this worlde."
Everburning Lights of Trithemius
1408

Long flowers substantial like
yarn
converging
between two points--palms of small
hands,
insubstantial
fingers

with points of light:

2. In its second state it is manifested by motion or agitation into light. The sound of separated strings--Chaos, said, "Let there be Light."
Yet it is yes, still, yes, I knew who you were even now: my old friend!

I find you inside a shell, the delicate movement from stem to flower, from leaf to stem--photosynthesis--the middle        manifests warmth        and Heat, as in the moment of

knowing. Wing of long knowing, find peace, we were always the same!It is almost like the

This continues burning as long as it is agitated by memory.
Searching fails, it returns to its first state of tranquil universality.
But, I know you still.

And there you are, wing of GOLD!

There you go. I go.
What happens? Summers, wild flowers fade, by degrees we
become adults--
and find ourselves the same
children,
pressing things into paper.

        I have a tattoo of Greece, a gun, smear of chalk, pink and yellow.

In the character
of burning fire it manifests light and heat. Thus,

late summer,
knowing their resilience,
it will always be a

companion plant.
