Pale Moonlight

Famous quotes containing the words pale and/or moonlight:

    “We know not what it is, dear, this sleep so deep and still;
    The folded hands, the awful calm, the cheek so pale and chill;
    The lids that will not lift again, though we may call and call;
    The strange white solitude of peace that settles over all.”
    —Mary Mapes Dodge (1831–1905)

    “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)
