Dr John Watson wistfully resigned himself to the certainty that he was not an artistic man. If he lived a hundred years, even with the greatest aspirations, he would never produce anything as exquisite as the music flowing so casually from his fellow lodger’s violin. Yes, Watson wrote well enough, but he considered his work to be journeyman-like at best. And yet he was not jealous. The moon cannot view the sun with envy when its own light depends on borrowed brilliance. For if the sun were to quit the celestial sphere, what luminosity would there be left to reflect?

.oOOo.

And on rare and special occasions, the moon eclipses the sun!

Indeed :) And there are certain things moonlight is better for than sunlight...
