Meine Beschreibung ist : “Her antiquity in preceding and surviving succeeding tellurian generations: her nocturnal predominance; her satellitic dependence; her luminary reflection; her constancy under all her phases, rising and setting by her appointed times, waxing and waning; her potency over effluent and refluent waters; her power to enamour, to mortify, to invest with beauty, to render insane, to incite to and aid delinquency; the tranquil inscrutability of her visage; the terribility of her isolated dominant resplendent propinquity; her omens of tempest and of calm: the stimulation of her light, her motion and her presence: the admonition of her craters, her arid seas, her silence. Her splendour, when visible; her attraction, when invisible.”
