Moonlight Cradle

Famous quotes containing the words moonlight and/or cradle:

    “and in moonlight she comes in her nudity,
    flashing breasts made of milk-water,
    flashing buttocks made of unkillable lust,
    and at night when you enter her
    you shine like a neon soprano.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Nor envy’s snaky eye, finds harbour here,
    Nor flatterers’ venomous insinuations,
    Nor cunning humorists’ puddled opinions,
    Nor courteous ruin of proffered usury,
    Nor time prattled away, cradle of ignorance,
    Nor causeless duty, nor comber of arrogance,
    Nor trifling title of vanity dazzleth us,
    Nor golden manacles stand for a paradise;”
    —Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
