Considered one of the great American poets of the 20th century, Carl Sandburg wrote about everything from bucolic landscapes to the cost of war to what constitutes love. In his 1934 poem “Moonlight and Maggots,” he describes the moon as many things — a “dead cinder,” a “love promise,” and, in this quote, a friend in a dark night. Sandburg’s work often invites us to look at the world with fresh eyes. If we’re willing to be curious, we might find new paths and pleasures to follow.
