Moon Sets

Famous quotes containing the words moon and/or sets:

    “In such a night, when passing clouds give place,
    Or thinly veil the heaven’s mysterious face;
    When in some river, overhung with green,
    The waving moon and trembling leaves are seen;”
    —Anne Finch, Countess Of Winchilsea (1661–1720)

    “In my dealing with my child, my Latin and Greek, my accomplishments and my money stead me nothing; but as much soul as I have avails. If I am wilful, he sets his will against mine, one for one, and leaves me, if I please, the degradation of beating him by my superiority of strength. But if I renounce my will, and act for the soul, setting that up as umpire between us two, out of his young eyes looks the same soul; he reveres and loves with me.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
