Gerard Manley Hopkins gave thanks 'for skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow'. These poems were all written on a small farm near the coast of South Australia, a place of couple-colour skies and brinded cows.

The subjects range from frivolity to philosophy, having shades both of light and of darkness, as befits a couple-colour collection.
