Artificial Moonlight

Famous quotes containing the words artificial and/or moonlight:

    You must recollect however that I know nothing of painting & that I detest it, unless it reminds me of something I have seen or think it possible to see.... Depend upon it of all the arts it is the most artificial & unnatural—& that by which the nonsense of mankind is the most imposed upon.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    The poet who walks by moonlight is conscious of a tide in his thought which is to be referred to lunar influence.
