e. e. cummings Moon Quotations

the mind is its own beautiful prisoner. Mind looked long at the sticky moon opening in dusk her new wings then decently hanged himself,one afternoon. The last thing he saw was you naked amid unnaked things...

who knows if the moon's a balloon,coming out of a keen city in the sky--filled with pretty people? ( and if you and I should get into it,if they should take me and take you into their balloon, why then we'd go up higher with all the pretty people than houses and steeples and clouds: go sailing away and away sailing into a keen city which nobody's ever visited,where always it's Spring)and everyone's in love and flowers pick themselves

...losing through you what seemed myself, i find selves unimaginably mine; beyond sorrow's own joys and hopings very fears yours is the light by which my spirit's born: yours is the darkness of my soul's return... you are my sun, my moon, and all my stars.

the moon rattles like a fragment of angry candy

Women and men(both little and small) cared for anyone not at all they sowed their isn’t they reaped their same sun moon stars rain

I was too tired to think. I merely felt the town as a unique unreality. What was it? I knew -- the moon's picture of a town. These streets with their houses did not exist, they were but a ludicrous projection of the moon's sumptuous personality. This was a city of Pretend, created by the hypnotism of moonnight. -- Yet when I examined the moon she too seemed but a painting of a moon and the sky in which she lived a fragile echo of color. If I blew hard the whole shy mechanism would collapse gently with a neat soundless crash. I must not, or lose all.

Who knows if the moon's / a balloon, coming out of a keen city / in the sky - filled with pretty people?

notice the convulsed orange inch of moon perching on this silver minute of evening

You are my sun, my moon, and all my stars.

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you

Yours is the light by which my spirit's born: - you are my sun, my moon, and all my stars.
