Man is no star, but a quick coal Of mortal fire: Who blows it not, nor doth control A faint desire,
When along the pavement, Palpitating flames of life, People flicker around me, I forget my bereavement, The gap in the great constellation, The place where a star used to be

He was suddenly thrilled to see his private, personal star arise in the east. This was a particular star his nanny had chosen for him as a child. As a child, he would sometimes talk to this star, but only when he was his most serious, real self, and not being any sort of a show-off or clown. As he grew up, the practice had somehow worn off. He looked up at his old friend as if to say, βYou see my predicament.β The star seemed to respond, βI see.β Abel next put the question: βWhat shall I do?β The star seemed to answer, βYou will do what you will do.β For some reason this reply strengthened Abelβs belief in himself. Sleep gently enfolded him. The constellations proceeded across the hushed heavens as if tiptoeing past the dreaming mouse on his high branch.

Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand - and melting like a snowflake. Let us use it before it is too late.
I do not write about love as if I have invented it. I write about love because thoughts of you inspire self-forgetfulness. And because writing about you gives birth to a star. These stars sit inside me where there was once darkness.
When you think about it, Adolf Hitler was the first pop star.
Any star can be devoured by human adoration, sparkle by sparkle.
I knew William Burroughs really well, and I was always star struck being around him. I adored him.
