The Man in the Moon
It was a lovely evening. Night was out hunting on her black steed, and the long cloud mane fluttered on the wind. I stood at my window watching the Moon. Is there really a “Man in the Moon?”… When I was little they told me that the Moon was a fruit, and that when it was ripe, it was picked and laid away, amid a vast collection of old Full Moons, in a great bureau, which stood at the end of the world, where it is nailed up with boards. ~Heinrich Heine, “The Hartz Journey” (1824), Pictures of Travel, translated from German by Charles Godfrey Leland, 1855 ~
