Beyond the stars--what?
Is it the beginning or end you see?
For beyond the stars--what?

Till rising and gliding out
I wander'd off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars.
*

Alone in the night on a dark hill
With pines around me spicy and still,
And a heaven full of stars over my head,
White and topaz And misty red;
*
STARS
Sarah Teasdale

This is the hour, O soul,
thy free flight into the wordless,
away from books, away from art,
the day erased, the lesson done,
thee fully forth emerging,
silent, gazing, pondering the themes
thou lovest best:
night, sleep, death , and the stars.
Whitman

If I have a terrible need of--
shall I say the word--religion?
Then I go out and paint the stars.
VanGogh

Sous les nuages de la nuit
je marche vers la clairière.
D'un éclat argenté je la vois,
la lune.
Elle porte les voiles de l'éternité,
son auréole embrasse les étoiles, ma lune.
La Lune

Like the moon
come out from behind the clouds
Shine!
Buddha

And swimming over groves of Palm,
A crescent weak and wan,
There steals into the perfect calm
The Moon of Ramadân.
*

the darkening air thrills with
the sense of the triumphing night,--
night with her train of stars
and her great gift of sleep.
Henley

I will love the light for it shows me the way
I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars.
Mandigo

Though my soul may set in darkness
it will rise in perfect light
I have loved the stars too fondly
to be fearful of the night.
Williams
