Sometimes I get lonesome for a storm. A full-blown storm where everything changes. The sky goes through four days in an hour, the trees wail, little animals skitter in the mud and everything gets dark and goes completely wild.

And without my expatiating on this theme it is obvious that putting little white dots on the blue-black is not enough to paint a starry sky.
