Why White? (Villa Savoye, Le Corbusier, Snow, the White Album, Richard Meier, The Cliffs of Dover, Marble, Greece, Beaches, "Café at Night" by Paul Blackburn)

Why white?  I don't know.  Villa Savoye, Le Corbusier.  Snow.  The White Album.  The architecture of Richard Meier.  The Cliffs of Dover.  Marble.  Greece.  Beaches.  "Café at Night" by Paul Blackburn:

The men are white
the wine is white
                            Two
women come in, they order hot

milk.  Everything is still white
                                                  (white)

White.  The word has amazing sound.  Pure. Beautiful.  Blanco doesn't cut it.
