Beethoven and the moon
The document discusses moonlight and its associations with thought, friendship, warmth, gentleness, sweetness, and melancholy. It contains four quotes: Jules Renard describing moonlight as thought in reverie; Anne Barratin comparing friendship to moonlight, especially at night; Victor Hugo describing the moon day as warm and light, gently opening opal eyes from which sweet heaven descends; and again Victor Hugo noting times when minds seem informed by both the setting sun and rising moon.
