Moon Child

Famous quotes containing the words moon and/or child:

“in the pleasure of that communion

I lose track,
the moon I watch goes down, the

tide swings you away before
I know I’m
alone again long since,”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“The child ... stands upon a place apart, a little spectator of the world, before whom men and women come and go, events fall out, years open their slow story and are noted or let go as his mood chances to serve them. The play touches him not. He but looks on, thinks his own thought, and turns away, not even expecting his cue to enter the plot and speak. He waits,—he knows not for what.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
