What special affinities appeared to him to exist between the moon and woman?
Her antiquity in preceding and surviving successive tellurian generations:
her nocturnal predominance: her satellitic dependence: her luminary
reflection: her constancy under all her phases, rising, and setting by her
appointed times, waxing and waning: the forced invariablility of her aspect:
her indeterminate response to inaffirmative interrogation: her potency over
effluent and refluent waters: her power to enamour, to mortify, to invest
with beauty, to render insane, to incite and aid delinquency: the tranquil
inscrutability of her visage: the terribility of her isolated dominant
implacable resplendent propinquity: 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 splendour, when visible: her
attraction, when invisible.
