Cyan Magic
Monday, Silver, Moon
Speak soft of Monday's Silvern Moon,
Whilst watching silvern Fish glide by;
These Cyan whispers fail so soon,
And end when silent Sea meets Sky.
Cyan
Historically, the esoteric colour of the Moon, and of Silver, is White; quite properly, it cannot be other than Cyan, the light secondary between green and blue, for only this colour fits the interlocking pattern of three primary and three secondary colours which cycles through the planets, days and metals. White is an error occasioned, I suppose, by the watery connection between the Moon and Black Lead Saturn. Or perhaps it is because historically, there was no good word to convey the meaning cyan now has (turquoise is too dark, too green, and too rich a colour).The Greek meaning of cyan (kyanos) is 'blue', and quite often 'dark blue', as many of our derivative words attest. An old, alternative name for the Symplegades - the 'Crushing Rocks' between which the Argo sailed - was the Cyaneae: 'the dark rocks'.
The Moon's jewel is, of course, the pearl - another watery connection.
Cyanin is the pigment which makes the cornflower blue but, because of a reaction with acids, makes the rose red - and, of course, red is the light complement of cyan (i.e. red light mixed with cyan light will produce white light).
