'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. The wind is strong and powerful, but the moon is gentle and serene. The wind tries to blow the moon out, but the moon simply shines on, unaffected. The poem is a metaphor for the power of love and the strength of the human spirit. Another popular poem in the collection is "The Daisy," which tells the story of a daisy that grows in a field. The daisy is small and insignificant, but it is full of beauty and joy. The poem is a reminder that even the smallest things in life can bring us happiness.
