Hymns--Moon
From Complete Poetical Works, ed. E. H. Coleridge (1912)
Religion
In a cave in the mountains of Cashmeer, an image of ice, which
makes its appearance thus: Two days before the new moon there
appears a bubble of ice, which increases in size every day
till the fifteenth day, at which it is an ell or more in
height;--then, as the moon decreases the Image does also till
it vanishes. Mem. Read the whole 107th page of Maurice's
Indostan.
