ABSTRACT
In this dance the moon had special values. It could become an emblem, set against the Tower, of the antithesis of contemplative and active man, as in 'Blood and the Moon', iv:3
No matter what I said, For wisdom is the property of the dead, A something incompatible with life; and power, Like everything that has the stain of blood, A property of the living; but no stain Can come upon the visage of the moon When it has looked in glory from a cloud.
