Famous quotes containing the word moon:

    “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.”

    “Serene stands the little captain,
    He is not hurried, his voice is neither high nor low,

    Toward twelve there in the beams of the moon they surrender to us.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
