Moon Rises

Famous quotes containing the words moon and/or rises:

“Sad men made angels of the sun, and of
The moon they made their own attendant ghosts,
Which led them back to angels, after death.”

“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
