From the book 'Stardust' by Neil Gaiman
There was a cracking sound, sharp as a shot, and the light that had filled the grove was gone.
Or almost gone. There was a dim glow pulsing from the middle of the hazel thicket, as if a tiny cloud of stars were glimmering there.
And there was a voice, a high clear, female voice, which said,'Ow,'and then, very quietly, it said 'Fuck,'and then it said 'Ow,'once more.

said the falling star when she was shot down to earth
