"As a pale phantom with a lamp
Ascends some ruin's haunted stair,
So glides the moon along the damp
Mysterious chambers of air."
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Moonlight

The start of our next round of Nibblefest begins on Sunday, October 20th!
This month's theme is...
~ Moonlight ~
 |
| Art by Diane Ursin |
"'Tis moonlight, summer moonlight,
All soft and still and fair;
The solemn hour of midnight
Breathes sweet thoughts everywhere."
~Emily Jane Bronte, Moonlight Summer Moonlight
 |
| Art by Leola Goldsmith Walker |
"Then, as the broad moon rose on high,
The maidens stood the altar nigh;
And some in graceful measure,
The well-loved spot danced round."
~Sappho, Maidens Dancing in Moonlight
 |
| Art by Theresa Taylor Bayer |
"In autumn moonlight, when the white air wan
Is fragrant in the wake of summer hence,
'Tis sweet to sit entranced and muse thereon
In melancholy and godlike indolence."
~Robert Seymour Bridges, In Autumn Moonlight When the White Air Wan
 |
| Art by Vicky Knowles |
"From the glare of waxing white,
Gauze curtains - breeze floating-
Shield this rippling pool,
Become a waterfall
And break the mirror-moon."
~Lillian Susan Thomas, Moonlight Sestina
 |
| Art by Tatiana Volokhova |
"There is a sun in everyone,
But the moon, like a loom
Works on the finest of stuff"
~Rani Turton, Moonlight
 |
| Art by Kathy Clemente |
"O moonlight, bear my message of love to
the heart that beats for me."
~David McKee Wright, In The Moonlight
 |
| Art by Leola Goldsmith Walker |
"Even while they sing, all in minor key,
of love triumphant and life's careless boon,
they seem in doubt of their felicity,
their song melts in the calm light of the moon.
~Paul Verlaine, Moonlight
 |
| Art by Vicky Knowles |
"Hail, new moonlight, fierce, wild, and stormy,
Wintry and bold!
Hail sharp wind, that can strengthen, warm me,
If ne-er so cold!"
~Dinah Maria Mulock Craik, Winter Moonlight
 |
| Art by Christine E. S. Code |
"Now I shall ride the misty lake
With my own love, and speak so low
That not a fishy thing shall hear
The secrets passing to and fro
Amid the moonlight poetries.
~John Crowe Ransom, Moonlight
