“If the Sun and Moon should ever doubt, they'd immediately go out.”

“Make morning into a key and throw it into the well,go slowly , my lovely moon, go slowly.let the morning sun forget to rise in the east ,go slowly , my lovely moon, go slowly.”

“There is a difference between this world and the world of Faery, but it is not immediately perceptible. Everything that is here is there, but the things that are there are better than those that are here. All things that are bright are there brighter. There is more gold in the sun and more silver in the moon of that land. There is more scent in the flowers, more savour in the fruit. There is more comeliness in the men and more tenderness in the women. Everything in Faery is better by this one wonderful degree, and it is by this betterness you will know that you are there if you should ever happen to get there.”

“God is never tired of bringing the sun out every morning, taking it in the evenings and bringing out the moon.”

“The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.For nothing now can ever come to any good.”

“It was too wet to see the sun go down, too grey to see the moon come up.”
