Thou
shalt
draw
down
the
Moon
from
heaven
.
.
.
For
whilst
thou
seest
the
lunar
disc
display
Such
rocks
and
ocean
depths
unfathomable,
What
powers
prevent
thy
sight
of
worlds
celestial
From
tracing
all
their
semblance
to
this
earth?
Jeremiah
Horrox,
“The
Transit
of
Venus,”
1640
Aye,
pardon
us,
O
moon,
Round,
bright
upon
the
darkening!
Pardon
us
our
little
journeys
endlessly
repeated!
William
Carlos
Williams,
“A
la
lune,”
1914
