Imagery

The deep violet of cattail reeds along the water’s edge.

Origin

Pure Brightness is the clear, bright term of early April, when people sweep graves and walk in the rain. Its palette is a single violet family, opening with the purple of the cattail that lines every pond — quiet, damp, and cool.
