More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

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 ocean, whose tides respond, like women's menses, to the pull of the moon, the ocean which corresponds to the amniotic fluid in which human life begins, the ocean on whose surface vessels (personified as female) can ride but in whose depth sailors meet their death and monsters conceal themselves... it is unstable and threatening as the earth is not; it spawns new life daily, yet swallows up lives; it is changeable like the moon, unregulated, yet indestructible and eternal.

Different cats don't like certain litter. they also don't like an unstable floor, no animal like's unstable floor. so if you put a thin piece of plastic down under a litter box and the cat walks on it and starts to slip, they don't like that. any animal doesn't like an unstable floor.

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
It has taken biologists some 230 years to identify and describe three quarters of a million insects; if there are indeed at least thirty million, as erwin (terry erwin, the smithsonian institute) estimates, then, working as they have in the past, insect taxonomists have ten thousand years of employment ahead of them. ghilean prance, director of the botanical gardens in kew, estimates that a complete list of plants in the americas would occupy taxonomists for four centuries, again working at historical rates.
