'Wind and the Moon' Summary
The Wind and the Moon is a collection of poems by George MacDonald. The poems are full of vivid imagery and imaginative language, and they explore a wide range of themes, including nature, love, and loss. MacDonald was a master of allegory, and many of his poems have a moral or spiritual message. One of the most famous poems in the collection is "The Wind and the Moon," which tells the story of the wind and the moon as they travel across the sky.
