The Snow Queen..."Kay looked at her face. She was so beautiful, he could not imagine anything lovlier. She no longer appeared to be made of ice, as she had when she beckoned him at the window. In his eyes she was perfect. He told her that he could do mental arithmetic as far as fractions, that he knew the number of square miles and the number of inhabitants in the country. She smiled, and it seemed to him that what he knew was not enough.At that moment Kay felt a sharp wind, as the Snow Queen flew him high upon a black cloud. The storm blew and whistled. Below them the cold wind roared, the wolves howled, the snow crackled. Above them flew black screaming crows. But over it all the moon shone bright and clear, and Kay looked down at the long, long winter night. By day he slept at the feet of the Snow Queen."-Hans Christian AndersenCURRENT MOON moon phases
