Lunar Lore

Slowly the solemn moon its full orb rears, And through the skies its lucid influence throws, Each glittering star ’mid fleecy clouds appears, And through th’ immeasurable path of heaven The high galaxy glows. ~ Ann Batten Cristall, “Poetical Sketches.”

The moon she possibly doth shine because Strook by the rays of sun, and day by day May turn unto our gaze her light, the more She doth recede from orb of sun, until, Facing him opposite across the world, She hath with full effulgence gleamed abroad… – Lucretius, “On the Nature of Things.”
