Moon Moon, Mother Moon
Lunar Lore

Although the autumn moon
has set, its light
lingers on my chest.
– Kanshu.

If the moon shows like a silver shield,
Be not afraid to reap your field ;
But if she rise a haloed round,
Soon we’ll tread on deluged ground.
– T.F. Thiselton Dyer, “English Folk-Lore”.
…
This book is an effort to rescue the ancient
love of simple star-gazing from the avalanche of
mathematics and physics under which modern astronomy
threatens to bury it.
– Henry M. Neely, “A Primer for Star-Gazers.”
