The poem's truth is its emotion, nothing else. Why moonlight? Because the moon has no light of its own; it lives on borrowed light, as we do. The moon is best perceived and most needed in the dark, fulfilling itself in absence. It is both \u003cem\u003ehere \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003ethere\u003c\/em\u003e, as is often true for saints, whose luminosity is seen as lunacy in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sofia Starnes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 161261860X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612618609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paraclete Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/03\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Sofia Starnes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44365276840191,"sku":"9781612618609","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d5b41aed-e496-4744-bbac-2d88bcbcbfe2.jpg?v=1697057621","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/consequence-of-moonlight-sofia-starnes-9781612618609","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
