The moon was but a Chin of Gold
A night or two ago—
And now she turns her perfect face
Upon the world below. – Emily Dickinson
Ah Moon—and Star
You are very far
But were no one
Farther than you
Do you think I’d stop,
For a firmament
Or a Cubit—or so?
I could borrow a bonnet
Of the lark
And a chamois silver boot
And a stirrup of an antelope
And be with you—tonight!
But moon and star
Though you’re very far—
There is no one further than you—
He is more than a firmament—from me
So, I can never go. – Emily DickinsonThe stars are mansions built by Nature’s hand.
And haply there the spirits of the blest
Dwell, clothed in radiance, their immortal vest;
Huge ocean shows,
within his yellow strand
A habitation marvelously planned,
For a life to occupy in love and rest. – Williams Wordsworth
Did you know a constellation of stars is called a Lunar Mansion?
You, you alone will have the stars as no one else has them….
In one of the stars, I shall be living. In one of them, I shall be laughing. And so, it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night… You only you—will have the stars that can laugh. – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry – The Little Prince
Did you know that all of the 28 moons of the planet Uranus are named after characters from the works of Shakespeare and Alexander Pope?
