The poem's truth is its emotion, nothing else. Why moonlight? Because the moon has no light of its own; it lives on borrowed light, as we do. The moon is best perceived and most needed in the dark, fulfilling itself in absence. It is both \u003cem\u003ehere \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003ethere\u003c\/em\u003e, as is often true for saints, whose luminosity is seen as lunacy in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paraclete Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/03\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612618609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Sofia Starnes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43251435339957,"sku":"9781612618609","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_230b557a-a0cb-470e-aa2c-729311c7eafa.jpg?v=1699372786","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/consequence-of-moonlight-poems-9781612618609","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
