Ninth Lunar Month

Famous quotes containing the words ninth, lunar and/or month:

    “So in majestic cadence rise and fall
    The mighty undulations of thy song,
    O sightless bard, England’s Monides!
    And ever and anon, high over all
    Uplifted, a ninth wave superb and strong,
    Floods all the soul with its melodious seas.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    “A bird half wakened in the lunar noon
    Sang halfway through its little inborn tune.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “It makes little sense to spend a month teaching decimal fractions to fourth-grade pupils when they can be taught in a week, and better understood and retained, by sixth-grade students. Child-centeredness does not mean lack of rigor or standards; it does mean finding the best match between curricula and children’s developing interests and abilities.”
    —David Elkind (20th century)
