Moon Child

Famous quotes containing the words moon and/or child:

    “The moon is full tonight
    And hurts the eyes,
    It is so definite and bright.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “When as a child I laughed and wept,
    Time crept.
    When as a youth I waxed more bold,
    Time strolled.
    When I became a full-grown man,
    Time RAN.
    When older still I daily grew,
    Time FLEW.
    Soon I shall find, in passing on,
    Time gone.
    O Christ! wilt Thou have saved me then?
    Amen.”
    —Henry Twells (1823–1900)
