GUEST,Wavestar Folklore: 'Fingernail Moon' metaphor (31) RE: Lyr Req: Origin of 'Fingernail Moon' Metaphor 09 Feb 01

I'm a bit of Shakespeare nut myself, but nothing leaps to mind. I'll get back to you on that one.

When I was a kid my mother read me a book that referred to the thinnest incarnation of the moon, when you can barely see the sliver, as a 'racoon's whisker'. I always loved the image.
