Show POET POURS FORTH HIS SOUL. Waxes Eloquent Over 8lmple Rising of the Moon. This is how n flowery descriptive writer "piles it up" in dealing with tho rising of tho moon: "Brighter grew tho relumed orient as up behind tho slowly-drifting cloud-mountains cloud-mountains fair Selene drove her royal train, till now tho deepened border of ovory peak and crag, gilded and burnished bur-nished with aureate beauty, towered out In rosy outline against tho boundless bound-less perspective of occidental space. Up, up moved the gorgeous procession, whllo tho constellations grew dim nnd tho stars turned palo and, vanishing to their dismal homes, loft no blushing rivalry to vie with tho fair, sweet face of the beautiful night queen. Now beaming with tho full and radiant sazo of conscious purity, tho chaste, wan-dcrjns wan-dcrjns lirincess of tho skies serenely smiled down upon tho dreaming Earth as through unclouded grandeur sho rolled hor royal chariot higher up the ethereal realms of night."
