The moon rose late, but found a clear patch of sky from which to shine. I wonder what piece of land it was hanging above when it first appeared to my view tonight? Maybe it was over the sea, somewhere far to the south. It appears very low in the sky this time of year, and smaller than in winter. But at that moment when its visage crested the trees of the eastern ridge, its light must have been falling on the Rockies, making the tumbling streams glisten through the hour before dawn, and it must have shone on the desert highways where lone cars passed the dark miles, their headlights now and then reflecting from the eyes of a startled jackrabbit. I wonder how many dog's howls it elicited at that moment when I looked at it and saw only its utter tranquility, and heard only the quietude of my small patch of the world?
