"Stars are good too. I wish I could get some to put in my hair. But I suppose I never can.
You would be surprised to find how far off they are, for they do not look it.
When they first showed last night I tried to knock some down with a pole, but it didn't reach, which astonished me.
Then I tried clods till I was all tired out, but I never got one.
I did make some close shots, for I saw the black blot of the clod sail right into thee midst of the golden clusters forty or fifty times,
just barely missing them, and if I could've held out a little longer,
maybe I could've got one."
Mark Twain.
