A Face of Plaintive Sweetnessby *catch---22

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Weather and Sky

THE HALF MOON SHOWS
A FACE OF PLAINTIVE SWEETNESS

The half moon shows a face of plaintive sweetness
Ready and poised to wax or wane;
A fire of pale desire in incompleteness,
Tending to pleasure or to pain:-
Lo, while we gaze she rolleth on in fleetness
To perfect loss or perfect gain.
Half bitterness we know, we know half sweetness;
This world is all on wax, on wane:
When shall completeness round time's incompleteness,
Fulfilling joy, fulfilling pain?-
Lo, while we ask, life rolleth on in fleetness
To finished loss or finished gain.

By Christina Rossetti

This is definitely one of my favorite phases. A fat crescent, that is! I love the way La Luna wans after her full-moon phase, and I had the opportunity to gaze at La Luna in this very phase. Beautiful! Who knows, you may have taken this photo at the same time I looked up at La Luna during the very early AM hours!
