“Ci sono diecimila modi per contemplare la luna, e tutti sono stati celebrati. Luna d'inverno che illumina un paesaggio nevoso. Luna che disegna a terra l'ombra leggera di una spalliera di glicini. Luna di lago, contemplata da un piccolo belvedere privilegiato; chi sogna, chi recita un frammento di dramma antico, e al ritmo dei versi il tuo riflesso danza fra i gigli acquatici.
Luna solenne che ti inquadri nel portico di un tempio, fra la campana e la sua corda pendente. La si guarda appoggiati a una colonna, e si pensa. Tu fai vivere la campana e le infinite lanterne sospese alla volta.”
Thomas Raucat, L'onorevole gita in campagna
