"And is it," she asked, "as bright as the drops of dew in the moonlight?" "Yes, it is brighter than the drops of dew as the sun is clearer than the moon." "And is it sweet," she asked, "as sweet as the honeysuckle when the day is warm and still?" "Yes, it is as much sweeter than the honeysuckle as the night is stiller and more sweet than the day."
