In the evening however, when the moon spread her mellow radiance over all the world, the girls set the dew-sails of the ship; and the nocturnal companion in the sky gave them good speed with her cool light-winds. Then
the vessel glistened so silvery-bright that it looked as if the full
moon in her brilliance was travelling the nightly seas in the shape
of a ship. And at dawn and
at dusk, when the sun, the moon and the stars changed guard, and when
these celestial comrades of old waved at each other with their innumerable
radiant arms, they fanned these subtle cosmic winds together. And when during
these quiet times of dawn and dusk the sun, moon, and stars showered
their combined effulgence over the glistening vessel, she came under
the protection of the cosmic winds. |
