Many-coloured

In the hollow, a large mezerian bush gave life to the green expanse; the anemones opened their many-coloured petals to the sun; the tulips were just opening; and there seemed scarcely any need of greater variety, or of sweeter smells, than those which the hyacinths afforded.

On it came, and with it came the glorious blinding cloud of many-coloured light, and stood before us for a space, turning, as it seemed to us, slowly round and round, and then, accompanied by its attendant pomp of sound, passed away I know not whither.
