Famous quotes containing the word moonlight:
“In the moonlight the shepherds,
Soft lull’d by the rills,
Lie wrapt in their blankets
Asleep on the hills.”

flashing breasts made of milk-water,
flashing buttocks made of unkillable lust,
and at night when you enter her
you shine like a neon soprano.”

To everything, in order to get at myself.
I have wiped away moonlight like mud....””
