“A black star appears, a point of darkness in the night sky's clarity. Point of darkness and gateway to repose. Reach out, pierce the fine fabric of the sheltering sky, take repose.”

“Some nights the sky wept stars that quickly floated and disappeared into the darkness before our wishes could meet them.”

“The stars looked like nail heads in the sky--pull a few of them out and the darkness would fall.”

“The moon was a sharply defined crescent and the sky was perfectly clear. The stars shone with such fierce, contained brilliance that it seemed absurd to call the night dark.”

“Over all the sky—the sky! far, far out of reach, studded with the eternal stars.”

“The sky was horribly dark, but one could distinctly see tattered clouds, and between them fathomless black patches. Suddenly I noticed in one of these patches a star, and began watching it intently. That was because that star had given me an idea: I decided to kill myself that night.”

“His blue eyes were very dark… Will's were the colour of the sky just on the edge of the night…”

“Work stops at sunset. Darkness falls over the building site. The sky is filled with stars. "There is the blueprint," they say.”

“Outside, in the newly fallen darkness, the world had been transformed. The sky had become a glistening tapestry of stars.”

“The sky is like a black sieve pierced by silver drops that tremble, ready to burst through.”
