Present Like an Archangel

"The man who has seen the rising moon break out of the clouds at midnight has been present like an archangel at the creation of light and of the world." - Ralph Waldo Emerson.

So it wasn't exactly midnight, and I confess I'm not a man. But count me as an archangel too, for I have seen the full moon rising in all its cold winter beauty.

And now you have seen it too. Welcome to archangel-hood! Wasn't it a glorious show?
