Literary notes about Mango (AI summary)

Writers have occasionally employed "mango" as a vivid color reference, drawing on the fruit’s lush, sunlit hue to evoke warmth and radiance. For instance, one author likened the moon’s glow to a "golden mango," merging natural imagery with an evocative splash of tropical color that enhances the scene’s atmospheric charm [1]. In another brief appearance, the word "mango" is presented on its own—as if catalogued in a palette of colors—inviting readers to imagine its rich, fiery tone without further ado [2]. These instances demonstrate how, beyond its identity as a fruit, "mango" serves as a potent, sensory shorthand in literature for a bright, eye-catching color.
  1. The moon hung above us like a golden mango, And the moist air clung to our faces, Warm and fragrant as the open mouth of a child
    — from The Ghetto, and Other Poems by Lola Ridge
  2. mango , II.
    — from A History of North American Birds; Land Birds; Vol. 2 of 3 by Robert Ridgway
