Moon Rocks

Famous quotes containing the words moon and/or rocks:

    “Shake off your heavy trance,
    and leap into a dance,
    Such as no mortals use to tread,
    fit only for Apollo
    To play to, for the Moon to lead,
    And all the Stars to follow.”
    —Francis Beaumont (1584–1616)

    “Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I,
    To mourn, and murmur and repine,
    To see the wicked placed on high,
    In pride and robes of honor shine.
    But oh, their end, their dreadful end,
    Thy sanctuary taught me so,
    On slipp’ry rocks I see them stand,
    And fiery billows roll below.”
    —Isaac Watts (1674–1748)
