‘Then dearest child mournest thou only for Jupiter? Considerest though alone the burial of the stars?’- Walt Whitman, On the Beach at Night, c. 1856
Margaret Wise Brown's children's story Goodnight Moon (1947) is less a book than a ritual, complete with chanted incantation. Offered as a source of comfort, its pages populated with softness and warmth, it nevertheless portrays a world in which adults and children face the kingdom of the night apart from one another.
