Famous quotes containing the word moon:

    “I thought to hear him speak
    the girl might rise
    and make the garden silver,
    as the white moon breaks,
    “Nossis,” he cried, “a flame.””
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “She is not terrified of
    begonias or telegrams but
    surely this nightgown girl,
    this awesome flyer, has not seen
    how the moon floats through her
    and in between.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
