A black cat among roses, phlox, lilac-misted under a quarter moon, the sweet smells of heliotrope and night-scented stock. The garden is very still. It is dazed with moonlight, contented with perfume.
The view of the moon that we've been having recently is really spectacular. It fills about three-quarters of the hatch window, and of course we can see the entire circumference even though part of it is in complete shadow and part of it is in earthshine. It's a view worth the price of the trip.
Please, amigo. We need you, Kimosabe, O Mighty Powerful One. We need you more than the earth rises in the west. " The sun rises in the east, dickhead. " Only if you're standing on the earth. If you're on the moon, the earth rises in the west.

. . . the debate among the scientists if over. There is no more debate. We face a planetary emergency. There is no more scientific debate among serious people who've looked at the science. . .

Water, wind and birdsong were the echoes in this quiet place of a great chiming symphony that was surging around the world.

I will do strongly before the sun and moon whatever inly rejoices me and the heart apoints.
I know enough about the moon to know how unpleasant and inhospitable it is. . . . I know enough about Mars to know that you can't live there, you can't settle it.
