Hmm... sillybunny, you said "we usually see the moon’s face as male". Where? In Sting's songs? Cause it's always feminine in mythology.
And I've always been a bit confused as to why sting chose that particular sonnet. It was sonnet 130, and basically talks about how William loved a woman completely, fully and purely, even though she was a very ugly lady. The whole piece is humorous, in a rude way.
So, was Sting thinking of his mother or Trudie? Or was it a moment of madness/fun? I don't know.
Anyway, this song does have a certain something that makes you love it, no matter what it's about: vampires, women, whatever.
a day late and a dollar short--me not you--the man in the moon? Despite mythological inferences, no one says the woman in the moon--they look up and see a man's face. That's what I meant.
