Full Moon Day

Famous quotes containing the words full, moon and/or day:

    Civilization does not engross all the virtues of humanity: she has not even her full share of them. They flourish in greater abundance and attain greater strength among many barbarous people. The hospitality of the wild Arab, the courage of the North American Indian, and the faithful friendships of some of the Polynesian nations, far surpass any thing of a similar kind among the polished communities of Europe.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    She winks a feeble eye,
    She smiles into corners.
    She smooths the hair of the grass.
    The moon has lost her memory.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    So hideous was the noise, ah! benedicite!
    Certes, he Jacke Straw and his meinie
    Ne made never shoutes half so shrill
    When that they woulden any Fleming kill,
    As thilke day was made upon the fox.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
