Wise Hurt Moon

More From Benjamin Franklin

There was just one moon. that familiar, yellow, solitary moon. the same moon that silently floated over fields of pampas grass, the moon that rose--a gleaming, round saucer--over the calm surface of lakes, that tranquilly beamed down on the rooftops of fast-asleep houses. the same moon that brought the high tide to shore, that softly shone on the fur of animals and enveloped and protected travelers at night. the moon that, as a crescent, shaved slivers from the soul--or, as a new moon, silently bathed the earth in its own loneliness. that moon.
Loneliness Animal Moon
The moon is a white strange world, great, white, soft-seeming globe in the night sky, and what she actually communicates to me across space i shall never fully know. but the moon that pulls the tides, and the moon that controls the menstrual periods of women, and the moon that touches the lunatics, she is not the mere dead lump of the astronomist. . . . when we describe the moon as dead, we are describing the deadness in ourselves. when we find space so hideously void, we are describing our own unbearable emptiness.
Moon Night Sky
What was supposed to be so special about a full moon? it was only a big circle of light. and the dark of the moon was only darkness. but halfway between the two, when the moon was between the worlds of light and dark, when even the moon lived on the edge...maybe then a witch could believe in the moon.
Believe Dark Moon
How much more beautiful is the moon, slanting down the gauffered branches of a plum-tree; the moon wavering across a bed of tulips; the moon, still, upon your face. you shine, beloved, you and the moon. but which is the reflection?
Beautiful Moon Night
Life is so damned hard, so damned hard... it just hurts people and hurts people, until finally it hurts them so that they can't be hurt ever any more. that's the last and worst thing it does.

White in the moon the long road lies, the moon stands blank above; white in the moon the long road lies that leads me from my love. still hangs the hedge without a gust, still, still the shadows stay: my feet upon the moonlit dust pursue the ceaseless way. the world is round, so travellers tell, and straight through reach the track, trudge on, trudge on, 'twill all be well, the way will guide one back. but ere the circle homeward hies far, far must it remove: white in the moon the long road lies that leads me from my love.

Was it a friend or foe that spread these lies; nay, who but infants question in such wise, twas one of my most intimate enemies.
Wise Lying Enemy
The universe appears to me like an immense, inexorable torture-garden…passions, greed, hatred, and lies; social institutions, justice, love, glory, heroism, and religion: these are its monstrous flowers and its hideous instruments of eternal human suffering.
Lying Flower Passion
We cannot teach children the danger of telling lies to men without realising, on the man's part, the danger of telling lies to children. a single untruth on the part of the master will destroy the results of his education.

Yes," i say. "three of these flying birds." i touch my collarbone, marking the path of their flight - toward my heart. one for each member of the family i left behind.
