"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
