How does the writer describe the moonlight? Paraphrase it.

He opened the door to go out, but stopped on the still, surprised by a splendor of moonlight such as
he had rarely seen.
And, endowed as he was with an exalted spirit – such as those poetical dreamers the Fathers of the
Church might had – he was immediately distracted , moved by the glorious and serene beauty of the
pale night.
In his little garden, all bathed in soft light, the ordered ranks and of his fruit trees traced on the path
the shadows of their slender limbs, lightly veiled with foliage, while the giant honeysuckle, clinging to
the wall of the house, exhaled a delicious, sugary breath and floated through the calm air like a
ghostly perfume.
