on the occasion of the full moon
some Schopenhauer for you (modified from the original – to fit your screen!): Why has the sight of the full moon such a beneficent, quieting, and exalting effect? Because the moon is an object of perception, but never of desire: “The stars we yearn not after / delight us with their glory.” – Goethe The moon stays aloof from all our earthly activities, it sees all while it takes part in...
