(A Cornfield by Moonlight with the Evening Star by
Samuel Palmer, 1805-1881, English painter and printmaker)
Among poets, the moon is a topic almost as popular as love.
SEEING THE MOONLIGHT
Seeing the moonlight
spilling down
through these trees,
my heart fills to the brim
with autumn.
~ Ono No Komachi (825?-890?), Japanese poet
