where the two blues meet

“‘Don’t let us stop here,’ cried Isabel. ‘Look, let us go through
there! Bell must go through there! See! see! out there upon the blue!
yonder, yonder! far away—out, out!—far, far away, and away, and away,
out there! where the two blues meet, and are nothing—Bell must go!’”

—Herman Melville, Pierre: or, The Ambiguities, 1852.
