i must be the only person to see a moan in the moon. not that particular view of the moon, somehow. it must be because i'm a thousand miles south of you.

[chaney]

I see a man in the moon too. I see one in that picture, but I don't think your location is the problem. I got that picture off Google.

[reyler]

no, i don't see a man in the moon, primarily because the moon is a female influence, i see a moaning face. kind of tilted onto the side. you dig?

[stuart]

I'd hit that.

"The wonderful ability of the serpent to slough its skin and so renew its youth has earned for it throughout the world the character of the master of the mystery of rebirth --- of which the moon, waxing and waning, sloughing its shadow and again waxing, is the celestial sign. The moon is the lord and measure of the life-creating rhythm of the womb, and therewith of time, through which beings come and go: lord of the mystery of birth and equally of death --- which two, in sum, are aspects of one state of being. The moon is the lord of the tides and of the dew that falls at night to refresh the verdure on which cattle graze. But the serpent, too, is a lord of waters. Dwelling in the earth, among the roots of trees, frequenting springs, marshes, and water courses, it glides with a motion of waves; or it ascends like a liana into branches, there to hang like some fruit of death. The phallic suggestion is immediate, and, as swallower, the female organ also is suggested; so that a dual image is rendered, which works implicitly on the sentiments. Likewise a dual association of fire and water attaches to the lightning of its strike, the forked darting of its active tongue, and the lethal burning of its poison. When imagined as biting its tail, as the mythological uruboros, it suggests the waters that in all archaic comsmologies surround --- as well as lie beneath and permeate --- the floating circular island Earth."

why does that sound so familiar? what's that from?
