Famous quotes containing the words moonlight and/or cradle:
“The poet who walks by moonlight is conscious of a tide in his thought which is to be referred to lunar influence.”

“Tell me where is fancy bred,
Or in the heart or in the head?
How begot, how nourished?
Reply, reply.
It is engendered in the eyes,
With gazing fed, and fancy dies
In the cradle where it lies.
Let us all ring fancy’s knell.
I’ll begin it. Ding, dong, bell.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
