quote
Gekka-bijin (Queen of the Night)

It was a clear, moonlit night, a little after the tenth of the Eighth Month.
Her Majesty sat by the edge of the veranda while Ukon no Naishi played the flute for her. The other ladies in attendance sat together, talking and laughing; but I stayed by myself, leaning against one of the pillars.

"Why so silent?" said Her Majesty. "Say something. It is sad when you do not speak."
"I am gazing into the autumn moon," I replied.
"Ah yes," she remarked. "That is just what you should have said."

From the 10th-century "Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon," translated by Ivan Morris (Penguin)
