CRYING FOR THE MOON



MEIGETU WO TOTTEKURERO TO NAKUKO KANA.
a Japanese poet ;ISSA KOBAYASHI 1763~1827
( The child is always crying to fetch the moon.)
I always feel women are instigated by endless desire in the modern world. The fashion magazines for women make a fruitless frustration to the reader. These are filled by the sort of "asking for the moon".
Why the moon is the symbol of the childish desire in English too ?
