Neat! Sounds very poetic. There's a little quote in Carl Sagan's Demon-Haunted World I always liked:
The moon leaps
In the Great River's current...
Floating on the wind,
What do I resemble?
Du Fu, 'Travelling at Night'
(China, Tang Dynasty, 765)
Reminds me of that.
Found another one:
Traveling at Night, trying to Write a Poem
A breeze gently sways the grass that grows along the shore,
The danger is in raising a sail on a boat alone at night,
Still, stars sparkle above a wide skyline,
While the moon rises as the river flows by
What is my name but the works I've written,
Officially retired now that I am old and sick.
Fluttering from place to place,
Between heaven and earth, like a seagull.
Du Fu, on the Yangtze, also 765 apparently
This might be an unabridged version of the same poem actually. I'm not sure. I like how this sort of expressionistic stuff seems to transcend cultural boundaries. Exhibit A:
That's from the original Night of the Hunter. It's the kind of vibe I imagine while reading that poem.

It sounds more as if it's a follow up or the answer. Isn't it interesting how words remember us of other words. This one remembers me of Gerard Reve.
It all can be said with only a few words. Too many kill the essence and imagination of the reader.
Did you read the poem @grebmot shared @sbamsoneu?
