  Lunar Lore 

*** 

Instead of chatting with them in the dusk,
he wandered about the woods, whispering to the moon.
            – “The Red Fairy Book” (1890).

…   

The shadowy hour melts into purple day ;
  And, through Aurora’s fields of azure air,
The crimson stream of morning pours its way,
  And tints the snow-clad hills with colors rare.
 – Ernest Warburton Shurtleff, in the “Old Farmer’s Almanac” for 1911.
Crops planted on the increase of the moon will surely flourish.
 – Encyc. of Superstitions, Folklore & Occult Sciences of the World.
