A rainbow spans a continuous spectrum of colours and metaphorically can symbolise the multifaceted character and nature of humanity. I love work like this, because it makes the reader think and reflect. The rainbow has a place in legend owing to its beauty and the historical difficulty in explaining the phenomenon.
In Greek mythology, it was considered to be a path made by a messenger (Iris) between Earth and Heaven. In Chinese mythology, it was a slit in the sky sealed by Goddess Nwa using stones of five different colours. In Hindu mythology, it is called Indradhanush, meaning the bow of Indra, the God of lightning and thunder. In Norse Mythology, it was called the Bifrst Bridge connecting the realms of sgard and Midgard, homes of the gods and humans, respectively. The Irish leprechaun's secret hiding place for his pot of gold is usually said to be at the end of the rainbow. And, In the Biblical Canon of Christian and Jewish scripture, the rainbow is explicitly stated as a sign of the Noahic Covenant between God and The Creation, and the biblical God's promise to Noah that never again would The World be purified by The Deluge (Genesis 9.13-15)
Excellent example of poetical homage; soundly composed and structured. Well done!
