Moon Quote by Agha Shahid Ali

“Stationary" The moon did not become the sun. It just fell on the desert in great sheets, reams of silver handmade by you. The night is your cottage industry now, the day is your brisk emporium. The world is full of paper. Write to me.” quote by Agha Shahid Ali — Download Open image
