Passing Strange and Wonderful


"One pale as yonder wan and horned moon,
     With lips of lurid blue,

The other glowing like the vital morn
     When throned on ocean's wave
     It breathes over the world:
Yet both so passing strange and beautiful!"
-  Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Daemon of the World," 1816
