v1.c5.52

The moon gradually increases in size as days pass and again becomes full some day. Many descriptions of the moon’s waxing and waning are found in ancient and modern works. And what is more, the digits of the moon, the dark spots on her face, her soft and serene appearance and her refreshing light, have provided an outstanding theme for poetic imagination in all countries at all times.
