The Elders Speak:
On The Heavens
The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Journal
There is something haunting in the light of the moon....
Joseph Conrad, Lord Jim
The harvest moon has no innocence, like the slim quarter moon of a spring twilight, nor has it the silver penny brilliance of the moon that looks down upon the resorts of summer time. Wise, ripe, and portly, like an old Bacchus, it waxes night after night.
Donald Culross Peattie
The man who has seen the rising moon break out of the clouds at midnight has been present like an archangel at the creation of light and of the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Essays
It was a marvelous night, the sort of night one only experiences when one is young. The sky was so bright, and there were so many stars that, gazing upward, one couldn't help wondering how so many whimsical, wicked people could live under such
a sky.
Dostoevsky, White Nights
To the best of our knowledge, our Sun is the only star proven to grow vegetables.
Philip Scherrer
I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.
Vincent Van Gogh
I have recently added many of my lifetime collection of photographs and art works to an on-line shop where you can purchase notecards, posters, and greeting cards, etc. of my best images.
