Moon Crystal Power

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

    For now the moon with friendless light carouses
    On hill and housetop, street and marketplace,
    Men will plunge, mile after mile of men,
    To crush this lucent madness of the face....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    A crystal of breath,
    your irreversible
    witness.
    Paul Celan [Paul Antschel] (1920–1970)

    He had come down, He said, to clean the earth
    Of the dirtiness of war.
    Now tell of why His power failed Him there?
    His power did not fail. It was that, simply,
    He found how much the people wanted war.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
