Quotes About Moonlight

But I should set it down on paper, with every care and in every detail. I would write my own ghost story.

ROMANCERO SONÁMBULO VERDE que te quiero verde. Verde viento. Verdes ramas. El barco sobre la mar y el caballo en la montaña.

Evening Star, gold light of Aphrodite born in the foam, Evening Star, holy diamond of the glassblue night, you are dimmer than the moon, brighter than another star. Hello, good friend!

It may well be imperfect, I say, but it leaves traces. And we can follow those traces, like footsteps in the snow. Where do the lead? To oneself, I answer. That's where the mind is. Without the mind, nothing leads anywhere. I look up. The winter moon is brilliant, over the Town, above the Wall. Not one thing is your fault, I comfort her.
