“Oh sad full moon, my friend, why must
You see me suffer? Look your last!
Here at this desk so many a night
I’ve watched and waited for your light
To visit me again and shine
Over this paper world of mine.
Oh, take me to the hilltops, there
To wander in the sweet moonlit air,
By mountain caves, through fields to roam,
Hovering with spirits in your gloam,
Cleansed of book-learning’s fog and stew
And healed by bathing in your dew!”

— Faust Part 1 - Goethe
