quotations about the moon
The moon is no door. It is a face in its own right,
White as a knuckle and terribly upset.
It drags the sea after it like a dark crime; it is quiet
With the O-gape of complete despair.
SYLVIA PLATH
"The Moon and the Yew Tree", Ariel
The moon hangs alien, heavy, like a lock on a door; the door is tightly shut.
YEVGENY ZAMYATIN
"The North", The Dragon: Fifteen Stories
The moon: sweet regent of the sky.
WILLIAM JULIUS MICKLE
