Woman In The Moon

 

Artworks:

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

Photography:

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
 

Writings:

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

About:

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
 

Links:

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
