It is said that all mortals live in the inner celestial sphere.... the sphere of the moon. We are subject to all her moods, her dreams, her dark broodings. People in such a state, & that includes all of us, are thus considered “lunatics” or creatures influenced by the moon. I subscribe to Mr. Jung’s theories... we all are mixed of different balances of the male & the female... the anima & the animus. The moon for me is clearly the female. The sun is clearly the male. The moon gives me my intuition & my lifelong melancholy. If I have every written poetry of any lasting value it was always under the influence of the phases of the moon. I toast the moon with pale green Absinthe, with Chartreuse & Cloudberry Gin. I am a lunatic of the highest order. That is what keeps me sane.
