Selene and the boy

[abu nuwas]

I am a sucker for Moon poems. They are universal, and the stuff of lyrical poetry. I even have a guilty fondness for Walter de la Mare, whose house was not so far from where I live, and who had a splendid view from his garden, out to the Surrey Hills. I can even swallow 'shoon', but I would not try to slip that past Leanne, until her taste has been properly blunted:

Selene was the girl-friend of Sappho, to whom many of her poems are addressed, and if anyone misssed it, the word (or sometimes Selena) was the Greek word for Moon.
