Wyndham Halswelle won through to the final, setting a new
Olympic record of 48.4 seconds in his heat, where he lined
up against three American runners. As Halswelle moved to

42. Both green and colorless have figurative meanings, which
allow colorless to be interpreted as "nondescript"
and green as "immature". The sentence can therefore be
construed as "nondescript immature ideas have violent
nightmares", a phrase with less oblique semantics. In

if green is understood to mean "newly-formed" and sleep can
be used to figuratively express mental or verbal dormancy.
An equivalent sentence would be "Newly formed bland ideas
are inexpressible in an infuriating way.‖
