'Outside in the slow night by the light of the moon, the wind slowly shakes things which, swaying, cast shadows. Perhaps it's merely hanging laundry from a higher floor, but the shadows in themselves don't know the clothes, and they impalpably flutter in hushed harmony with all things. [...]
And without seeing, without thinking, my eyes now closed on my non-existent slumber, I wonder what words can truly describe moonlight. The ancients would say that it is silvery or white. But this supposed whiteness actually consists of many colors. Were I to get out of bed and look past the cold panes, I know I'd see that in the lofty air the moonlight is of a grayish white, blued by a subdued yellow: that over the various, unequally dark rooftops in bathes the submissive buildings with a black white and floods the red brown of the highest clay tiles with a colorless color. At the end of the street - a placid abyss where the naked stones are unevenly rounded - there's no color besides a blue which perhaps comes from the grey of the stones. The horizon is almost a dark blue, different from the black blue in the deepest sky. On the window where it reflects, the moonlight is a black yellow.'
( from the book of disquietude by Fernando Pessoa )
