"Figuratively speaking, the world is multicolored; and the gravitational field produces only a black and white photograph of it, which cannot do justice to the stormy colors of nature"

Ha ha.
I was thinking of a chain...
Something like this
quote 1: ... something something colours of Nature --Zel'dovich
quote 2: ...colours of nature something something... tree of life --Goethe
quote 3: tree of life something something ... empty skies --Bob Dylan
For example:
My witness is the empty sky --Jack Keruak
and see if it close in a loop or get broken at a quote that has no equally famous quote mentioning the same concept.

It was a chain... linked by Bob Dylan.
But here is a continuation of the original chain:
QuoteWhen I heard the learn’d astronomer,When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them,When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself,In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.WALT WHITMAN

Beecee, as soon as you get to 2022, tell us about it. I'm not taking any chances.

My thought today:
The point at which some people stop paying attention to what someone has said is sometimes more revealing than their answer.
Thus, what they don't mention can be more relevant than what they do.
