Woman In The Moon
|
impetuous sapphires between the valleys and hills of night
As the moon's fair image quaketh In the raging waves of ocean, Whilst she, in the vault of heaven, Moves with silent peaceful motion.
- Heinrich Heine
|
a touch of waterdrop lacework and glassy embers
Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And nightly to the listening earth
Repeats the story of her birth.
- Joseph Addison

|
the indications of tiptoes across a still lake
The Moon like a flower
In heaven's high bower,
With silent delight,
Sits and smiles on the night.
- William Blake
|
myself a watchwoman, when stilled the seas
How like a queen comes forth the lonely Moon
From the slow opening curtains of the clouds
Walking in beauty to her midnight throne!
- George Croly

|
sheer persistence of missing fables
The moon looks upon many night flowers;
the night flowers see but one moon.
- Jean Ingelow

In A Blue Moon
Once, I felt her breath
illusions of the spirits
folds of pearly silk
