Lunar Lore

A cycle of the moon, called “Meton’s Cycle,” from Meton,

who discovered it, is a period of nineteen years,

at the expiration of which time the phases of the moon

repeat themselves on the same days as they did

nineteen years previously.

~ Brewer’s “Dictionary of Phrase and Fable.”

…

“Tsuki no Usagi” is the rabbit in the moon

who is pounding rice into mochi with a mortar.

– Japanese folk-lore.

…

Occasional clouds

one gets a rest

from moon-viewing

~Basho
