I'm not saying 'the moon' as a physical object is all he is addressing or praising... not at all. I'm simply clarifying the moon as the object in the weird sun/moon interpretation argument, which should have been obvious from the offset . It's clear that the moon and the moon's beautiful qualities, coupled with the classical mythology/allusion surrounding the moon, are metaphorically used in his hymn to Diana. It's symbolic, not literal.
It seems that the entire poem is an extended metaphor of the moon, though. Where usually it's not a single object or idea being compared to the subject, but many.
What about Romanticist poetry where sometimes someone such as Coleridge or Shelley will spend an entire 5 cantos writing about an Aeolian harp, or a nightingale? Shakespeare's Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day, one of the most highly regarded Sonnets? I don't really agree with the "usually" part, but I'll agree that there is a lot of variety in poetical constructs.
Crazy chick? Sylvia Plath? Aphra Behn? Anna Laetitia Barbauld? Lady Mary Wortley Montagu?MadKatter wrote:

Sylvia Plath. We looked over a bit of her biographical info... she's a bit fucked up.Uzique wrote:
