That orbed maiden, with white fire laden,
Whom mortals call the moon.
~Percy Bysshe Shelley, The Cloud
Look how the pale queen of the silent night
Doth cause the ocean to attend upon her....
~Charles Best, "A Sonnet of the Moon"

How lovely would it be to sit along the banks of that river on a cool evening, after a hot summer day, and just watch the moon rise...
Beautiful. I love the blue. Why is that so hard to find in fabric? Thanks for sharing the poetry. I am trying to gain more poetry appreciation.
Have a wonderful day.
I love that description of the moon, and the picture is so haunting. There's something about the moon over the sea...
I wonder what it was like to live in the world when everyone believed the moon and stars were goddesses and gods with special powers? Beautiful photograph!! xo Kari
Awesome shot of the St. Lawrence River. I wish that I had the knowledge to take gorgeous shots as you provide. Lovely, just lovely.
