Quiet Night Thoughts - The Moon Poetry was inspired by my lifelong admiration for the poetry of Li Bai (701-762 CE), a Tang Dynasty poet whose works are full of passion, imagination and elegance. Li's Quiet Night Thoughts is often one of the first poems learned by children; as of I who have been reciting this poem since childhood.
