Famous quotes containing the words moon and/or god:
“The brawling of a sparrow in the eaves,
The brilliant moon and all the milky sky,
And all that famous harmony of leaves,
Had blotted out mans image and his cry.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“Hail holy Light, of spring of Heavn first-born,
Or of th Eternal Coeternal beam
May I express thee unblamd? since God is Light,
And never but in unapproached Light
Dwelt from Eternitie, dwelt then in thee,
Bright effluence of bright essence in create.
Or hearst thou rather pure Ethereal stream,
Whose Fountain who shall tell?”
—John Milton (16081674)
