Lunar Lore

Whether the eave-drops fall

Heard only in the trances of the blast,

Or if the secret ministry of frost

Shall hang them up in silent icicles,

Quietly shining to the quiet moon.

– Samuel Taylor Coleridge, “Frost at Midnight.”

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.”

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.
