The Strawberry Window

In his dream he was shutting the front door with it's strawberry windows and lemon windows and windows like white clouds and windows like clear water in a country stream. Two dozen panes sqared round the one big pane,colored of fruit wines and gelatins and cool water ices...He remembered his father holding him up as a child."Look!" And through the green glass the world was emerald,moss,and summer mint. "Look!" The lilac pane made livid grapes of all the passer-by.And at last the strawberry glass perpetually bathed the town in a roseate warmth,carpeted the world in pink sunrise,and made the cut lawn seem imported from some Persian rug bazar. The strawberrywindow,best of all,cured people of their paleness, warmed the cold rain, and set the blowing,shifting February snows afire... Ray Bradbury..... It's a story that takes place on Mars. I like science fiction. It keeps on coming true!
