Moon Crystal Power

Famous quotes containing the words moon, crystal and/or power:

    “Like the moon her kindness is.
    If kindness I may call
    What has no comprehension in’t,
    But is the same for all
    As though my sorrow were a scene
    Upon a painted wall.”

    “Comets, importing change of times and states,
    Brandish your crystal tresses in the sky.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “‘Tis not such lines as almost crack the stage
    When Bajazet begins to rage;
    Nor a tall met’phor in the bombast way,
    Nor the dry chips of short-lunged Seneca.
    Nor upon all things to obtrude
    And force some odd similitude.
    What is it then, which like the power divine
    We only can by negatives define?”
    —Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
