About:

“her satellitic dependence; her constancy under all her phases, rising and setting by her appointed times, waxing and waning.. the strong invariability of her aspect.. her potency over effluent and refluent waters.. her power to enamor, to mortify, to invest with beauty, to render insane, to incite to and aid delinquency.. the tranquil inscrutability of her visage.. her omens of tempest and of calm.. the stimulation of her light, her motion and her presence.. the admonition of her craters, her arid seas, her silence… her splendor, when visible; her attraction, when invisible.”
