I carry the Sun in a Golden Cup, the Moon in a Silver Bag.

W.b. Yeats
About This Quote

I carry the Sun in a Golden Cup, the Moon in a Silver Bag. This quote is inspired by the old saying, “The moon is made of green cheese.” This quote is just as ridiculous, but it captures the idea that there are some things you can put into something to make it special. This also means that people will start to believe this piece of information if they don’t already know it. It sounds ridiculous because it is hard to imagine how these things would exist without being invented.
