About This Quote
Oliver Goldsmith said, "In starlit nights I saw you, so cruelly you kissed me." He was talking about the moon, how it's beauty is so perfect, yet still so dangerous. When he says "The killing moon will come too," he's talking about how life can be like that too. You can have some really great moments with someone and then some bad ones. Some days are good and others are bad.
The moon is natural; it comes and goes. And when it's gone, it's gone.
