"Therefore the moon, the governess of floods,Pale..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Men's eyes were made to look, and let them gaze. I will not budge for no man's pleasure.”

“Keep up your bright swords, for the dew will rust them.”

“And teach me how To name the bigger light, and how the less, That burn by day and night.”

“Liupan the Mountain of Six Circles Dazzling sky to the far cirrus clouds. I gaze at wild geese vanishing into the south. If we cannot reach the Long Wall we are not true men. On my fingers I count the twenty thousand li we have already marched. On the summit of Liupan the west wind lazily ripples our red banner. Today we have the long rope in our hands. When will we tie up the gray dragon of the seven stars?”

“Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species.”

“All is going on as it was wont. The waves are hoarse with repetition of their mystery; the dust lies piled upon the shore; the sea-birds soar and hover; the winds and clouds go forth upon their trackless flight; the white arms beckon, in the moonlight, to the invisible country far away.”

“The days are short,The sun a sparkHung thin betweenThe dark and dark.”

“The change from storm and winter to serene and mild weather, from dark and sluggish hours to bright and elastic ones, is a memorable crisis which all things proclaim. It is seemingly instantaneous at last.”

“... the spring, the summer, The chilling autumn, angry winter, change Their wonted liveries; and the mazed world By their increase, now knows not which is which.”
