Soft Deluge (French Alps)

From unassisted vision hid, the moons   To cheer remoter planets numerous pour'd,   By him in all their mingled tracts were seen.   He also fix'd the wandering Queen of Night,   Whether she wanes into a scanty orb,   Or, waxing broad, with her pale shadowy light,   In a soft deluge overflows the sky. -James Thomson, A Poem Sacred to the Memory of Sir Isaac Newton, 1727

Morning Moon (French Alps)

The moving Moon went up the sky, And nowhere did abide; Softly she was going up, And a star or two beside-- -Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Wind of Night (SF Bay)

Thine eyes glow'd in the glare     Of the moon's dying light;           As a fen-fire's beam           On a sluggish stream Gleams dimly--so the moon shone there, And it yellow'd the strings of thy tangled hair,         That shook in the wind of night. -Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lines: The cold earth slept below, 1823

Calling (SF Bay)

Sunset and evening star,     And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar,     When I put out to sea, -Alfred Lord Tennyson, Crossing the Bar, 1889

Image of the Sky (Washington, D.C.)

Though bent on pleasant pilgrimage, we stood Looking upon the evening, and the flood Which lay between the city and the shore, Pav'd with the image of the sky.... -Percy Bysshe Shelley, Julian and Maddalo (excerpt), 1824
