Moon Matched

Famous quotes containing the words moon and/or matched:

    “Would you hear of an old-time sea-fight?
    Would you learn who won by the light of the moon and stars?
    List to the yarn, as my grandmother’s father the sailor told it to
    me.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “The sun set; but set not his hope:
    Stars rose; his faith was earlier up:
    Fixed on the enormous galaxy,
    Deeper and older seemed his eye:
    And matched his sufferance sublime
    The taciturnity of time.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
