the west jpossiblyshe recited the saying sky red in the morning is- the sailors warning sky red at night is the sailors delight this is an old proverb- very old in fact how old we do not know but it has been handed abwn through the ages it lsmenttonedrlnthenew testament jesus referred to it when the pharisees asked him to show them a sign from heaven in matthew-slxteen-we- read he answered and
