Question

One poem titled for this symbol proclaims that “impenetrable paths appear” and warns, “No one eats oranges...one must eat green fruit and ice.” In a ballad titled for this symbol, riders come “through the olive grove, bronze and dream” to arrive at a forge, where they find a dead boy on an anvil. Another poem titled for this symbol (-5[1])compares the addressee’s soul to a (*) “chosen landscape” where “masques and bergamasques” cast enchantments. (10[1])This entity appears as a white-faced woodcutter accompanied by an old beggar woman in a play in which it enables the Groom (10[1])to discover Leonardo. This entity appears alongside Death in Federico Garcia Lorca’s Blood Wedding. For 10 points, name this celestial body whose “light” is the subject of a poem by Paul Verlaine. (10[1])■END■

ANSWER: the Moon [or La Luna] (The first two lines refer to the Lorca poems "The Looming Moon" and "Ballad of the Moon"; the third refers to Verlaine's "Clair de Lune.")
